An Up-Close Look at Two Italian Masters An Eye on Michelangelo and Bernini: Photographs by Aurelio Amendola embraces the fine art of sculpting. Thirty stunning black and white photographs by Aurelio Amendola, a prolific contemporary photographer from Italy, feature details of some of Michelangelo’s most beloved pieces — David, Pietà, Moses, Victory, and figures from the Tombs of Giuliano di Lorenzo de’ Medici and Lorenzo di Piero de’ Medici — alongside details of Bernini’s Damned Soul, David, Apollo and Daphne, Rape of Proserpina, and Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius. “This exhibition is about the two sculptors, the Renaissance Michelangelo and the Baroque Bernini, and Amendola’s ability to capture details of these sculptures,” said Rebecca A. Dunham, The Four Arts’ head of fine arts & curator. “The black and white photography of these sculptures is a great exercise in the deployment of light and shadow.”
