The midterm exam for Art History 2 will cover material up to what is discussed in today's class and will take place during the second half of next week's class. The lecture will include a review before the midterm. Key figures that may be covered include Gianlorenzo Bernini, his father Pietro Bernini, and their work in Rome under popes Paul V and Urban VIII. Bernini's important contributions to St. Peter's Basilica will also likely be discussed. Sample essay questions may focus on Bernini's career and the rise of the more expressive "Ecstatic Baroque" style in 17th century Rome.
