The Bust of Francesco Barberini is a marble sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It was executed in 1623. It was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII, who was nephew of Francesco Barberini, an apostolic protonotary. Francesco had actually died in 1600 so Bernini created the bust from an existing painted portrait. The painted portrait is in Corsini Collection in Florence; Bernini made close use of the design, although the painting was a three quarter portrait as opposed to a bust of head, shoulders and upper body.[1][2]

Il busto di Francesco Barberini è una scultura in marmo realizzata da Gian Lorenzo Bernini, conservata nella National Gallery of Art di Washington D.C.. L'opera è stata realizzata nel 1623 ed è stata commissionata da Papa Urbano VIII, nipote di Francesco Barberini, protonotario apostolico. Quest'ultimo morì nel 1600, pertanto Bernini scolpì il busto da un ritratto del Barberini, dipinto in precedenza e attualmente parte della collezione Corsini a Firenze. Bernini si attenne strettamente al ritratto, sebbene nel dipinto la figura fosse di tre quarti, mentre la scultura è un busto di testa, spalle e busto.[1][2]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
