Velazquez and Bernini, two giants of world history of art, called to discuss in that magical place that is the Nobile Collegio del Cambio, under the eyes of the great Perugino. A dialogue that is played on a precise theme, the self-portrait, which both artists devoted considerable effort trying to catch the one better than the other and creating masterpieces, gathered for the first time, for centuries studied and interpreted by many other painters. ??In my opinion-says Francesco Federico Mancini, curator of the exhibition and the catalogue-incontro romano and the consequent, extraordinary experiences of two crossing among the main protagonists of the seventeenth century produced mutual benefits European utility. Vel??zquez, thanks to Bernini, including such expressive force is concealed in half length portrait, cut from the latter already experienced in the field of sculpture, and how much vitality could arise from the contrast between the rough way of clothes and way over faces.
