Listen "Episode 313 - Bernini and King Louis XIV"
Episode Synopsis
In April of 1665, Gian Lorenzo Bernini was sent by Pope Alexander VII to the court of King Louis XIV in Paris as a gesture of goodwill between monarchs. Although Bernini's main project was the design of the east façade of the Palace of the Louvre (which was eventually rejected, perhaps out of jealousy), the only work of art he created while in Paris was a spectacular marble bust of the "Sun King."
