Palazzo Barberini Highlights
Architecture
Palazzo Barberini is the prototypical Baroque palace. Interestingly, the talented architects Carlo Maderno, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Francesco Borromini transformed the pre-existing structure instead of demolishing it and starting from scratch. This new plan was designed in the unconventional shape of an “H” to create a structure with open wings framing a wide, lush garden with secret courtyards.
Frescos
The famous Baroque fresco by Pietro da Cortona, known as the ‘Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power,’ graces the ceiling of the salon. This masterpiece grew highly impactful in the palatial styles and styles of church ceiling decorations thereafter. Its far-reaching influence is witnessed in the throne room of the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Ca' Rezzonico in Venice, among others.
Artwork & Collections
The museum houses several astounding pieces of art from across history. Here are some of the famed artworks housed in the museum that you must view on your visit:
- Portrait of a Young Woman or (La Fornarina) - by Raphael
- Narcissus - by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
- Saint Cecilia and the Angel - by Carlo Saraceni
- David with Head of Goliath - by Gian Lorenzo Bernini
- Veiled Woman (sculpture) - by Antonio Corradini
- The Three Fates - by Sodoma
