Portrait of Roman 17th Century

1612–1612

Roman 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

A 17th-century Roman sculptor left behind just three known pieces, all tied to 1612. The front of one bronze shows Pope Paul V laying the cornerstone for San Carlo ai Catinari, Rome’s new church, while the back carries the church’s founding inscription. A third work, done later in brown ink, sketches a bearded man meeting God the Father in a biblical scene. Every item is a tiny, precise slice of Baroque Rome. Tap “Inscription [reverse]” to see the hidden wording on the bronze’s back.
