Buena sera! Today our focus was on Baroque Rome. We first went to the Galleria Borghese where we saw several works of art by the famous Bernini. His famous sculptures include Apollo and Daphne and David, among many others with unique vulgarity and expressions. Then we visited many churches that reflected Baroque Roman architecture and art. Baroque art focuses a lot on fooling the eye to believe realistic images. We saw examples of this in the beautiful artwork on the ceiling of Santa Maria della Vittoria and Sant’ Ignazio di Loyola. We have been keeping very busy and tomorrow should be an exciting day when we visit Saint Peter’s and the Vatican Museums.
Ciao,
Jaclyn
