The exhibition
Le Scuderie del Quirinale host the ehibition Guercino. The Ludovisi era in Rome until January 26, 2025. The exhibition includes 121 works from 68 major institutions, tracing the history of the two main protagonists: Guercino and the Ludovisi dynasty. The itinerary unfolds like a tale dedicated to the Ludovisi papacy (1621-1623), a brilliant phase placed between the great Borghese and Barberini dynasties, fundamental for the artistic evolution of Rome. It was precisely in these years that Guercino found in Rome an unrepeatable opportunity to make himself known, fueling his creativity thanks to the sophisticated patronage of Pope Gregory XV. The works on display reveal the distinctive features of a period that laid the foundations for the Baroque that was to follow. Guercino’s masterpieces dialogue with works by artists including Guido Reni, Pietro da Cortona, Van Dyck and Bernini, recalling episodes of rivalry, influences and artistic exchanges. From this emerges how Guercino’s artistic vision, characterised by a high chromatic sensitivity, became fundamental for the rise of the Ludovisi and for the consolidation of their political cultural and influence.
