Gian Lorenzo Bernini dedicated pungent caricatures to the members of the ruling class of his time, illustrious representatives of the papal court whose figures are extremely, and very effectively, simplified through a synthetic pen sign, devoid of chiaroscuro.

Our drawing falls, for its strong humorous component, rendered with great immediacy of stroke, within this unusual aspect, but now widely documented and discussed, of the production of this extraordinary artist to whom he had dedicated himself since his youth, as testifies to the caricature dedicated to the large face of Cardinal Scipione Borghese preserved in the Vatican Apostolic Library, prior to 1633, the year of the prelate's death.


The sheet, unpublished, will be published in T. Montanari, Bernini's caricatures: spirit without a body ?, currently being printed in a scientific journal.
