Listen "50. Back to the Borghese, Bernini, and the Baroque"
Episode Synopsis
We return to the Galleria Borghese to consider the remaining two of Bernini's four masterpieces, his Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanias, and his David. Both statues may represent the virtue of piety, one based on a Roman story and the other based on the Old Testament, though Bernini's David looks well equipped to defeat Goliath even if he should fail to receive God's support.
