Book excerpt: This collection contains 106 of Bernini's finest drawings, from a third to a half of his surviving graphic output, drawings characterized by bold assurance and confidence, exquisite precision, brilliance, and subtlety. Included are not only preparatory sketches and designs for the above projects, but splendid figure studies, probing portraits and self-portraits, ingenious caricatures, designs for medals, and drawings for frontispieces. We see the whole range of this artist's draughtsmanship, form his first thoughts on numerous projects to finished works of art. The volume, arranged chronologically, begins with one of Bernini's earliest surviving drawings, the "Portrait of a Young Man" (c. 1615), a possible self-portrait, and ends with a caricature of Pope Innocent XI from the last years of the artist's life (1676-80). As Bernini grew more and more successful, he became in fact a designer rather than a maker of sculpture. The drawings take on a special importance as a key indication of Bernini's original intentions, the way he saw and created projects, which his assistants than executed with varying degrees of competence. -- From publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Bernini by : Claude Douglas Dickerson (III)
Download or read book Bernini written by Claude Douglas Dickerson (III). This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The brilliantly expressive clay models created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) as "sketches" for his works in marble offer extraordinary insights into his creative imagination. Although long admired, the terracotta models have never been the subject of such detailed examination. This publication presents a wealth of new discoveries (including evidence of the artist's fingerprints imprinted on the clay), resolving lingering issues of attribution while giving readers a vivid sense of how the artist and his assistants fulfilled a steady stream of monumental commissions. Essays describe Bernini's education as a modeler; his approach to preparatory drawings; his use of assistants; and the response to his models by 17th-century collectors. Extensive research by conservators and art historians explores the different types of models created in Bernini's workshop. Richly illustrated, Bernini transforms our understanding of the sculptor and his distinctive and fascinating working methods."--Publisher's website.
