Jim Caldwell gives art talk on Gian Lorenzo Bernini on February 25

In 1606, when Gian Lorenzo Bernini was 8 years old, Pope Paul prophetically remarked that ‘This child will be the Michelangelo of his age’. This child prodigy would become the symbol of the Baroque style of art and architecture. Like Michelangelo, he was not only a brilliant sculptor, but also a gifted architect, who changed the face of Rome. He lived into his 80’s and served under seven popes.

Woodside-based artist Jim Caldwell  will give an in person talk on Gian Lorenzo Bernini at Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, Wednesday February 25, at 6:00 pm.

For those of you who can not make it in person, he will give the same talk on ZOOM, the next day, Thursday, Feb 26, at Noon, hosted by the Pacific Art League.
