  • Episode 327 - Answers to Open Questions XXIV
    From how many paintings Caravaggio produced, to visiting Florence at Easter time, to how form and color were applied in Renaissance painting, to an overlooked equestrian monument, to finding the wooden beams in Brunelleschi’s dome, to the model used by Leonardo da Vinci in three of his most famous paintings, and much, much more - this episode answers the very questions that you ask me about the great art, artists and history of the Italian Renaissance.

  • Episode 326 - Borromini’s Sant’Agnese in Agone (Piazza Navona)
    In 1653, Borromini was asked by Pope Innocent X to take over the building of his family church of Sant’Agnese in Agone in Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy. The result was a revolutionary façade design that tragically was not realized according to Borromini’s plans.

  • Episode 325 - Borromini’s Church of Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza
    Borromini began construction on another of his architectural masterpieces, the church of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza in Rome, Italy, in 1642 for Pope Urban VIII. His curvilinear façade, bulging drum, and spiraling lantern are all eye-popping aspects of his design. But it is the extraordinary floor plan of the church which makes it unique – an equilateral triangle with semi-circular niches along its sides and corners cut off by inward swinging arcs.

  • Episode 324 - Borromini’s Oratory of the Filippini
    In 1637, Francesco Borromini designed and began building an oratory – a place for public worship and musical performances – for the followers of St. Phillip Neri, known as the “Filippini.” The façade of this oratory is another of Borromini’s visionary architectural projects with its curved plan and unorthodox sculptural elements.

  • Episode 323 - Borromini’s Church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (Part II)
    The cloister and façade of the church complex San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (better known in Rome as “San Carlino”) are two of the most beautiful and revolutionary aspects of Borromini’s design for this project.
