A BIT IN DEEP: DOMENICO GUIDI

Domenico Guidi followed a path parallel to that of Ercole Ferrata, with whom he collaborated several times, especially abroad.

He, too, was a pupil of Alexander Algardi and after the master's death he collaborated with Bernini.

Just as Ferrata, Guidi also tempers the baroque extreme creativity with the measured composure learned by Algardi.

The Holy Family, we see at St. Agnes in Agone, is framed by four columns of antique green marble, coming from the disappeared four-sided arch erected by Commodus in honor of his father Marcus Aurelius.
