Galleries in Motion celebrates its 30th year with a series titled Passion & Piety: Baroque Art in Italy and Spain.Lecturer is Joy Marie Pepe, Professor Emeritus Lyme College of Art. This third lecture features the sculptor Bernini, a precocious talent who carved a career for himself in Rome as the favorite of popes and nobility, who clamored for his lifelike sculptures in marble. His work ultimately transformed the entire city. No registration required for Galleries in Motion programs, but the maximum capacity is 150, and the room will be closed once 150 people are seated, on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note the Wednesday date this year. Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 2:00 pm
