ACT 2: A room in Rezia's pavilion
by Herbert Read
In his new book on Giovanni-Lorenzo Bernini , Rudolf Wittkower contends that Bernini's sculpture represents a return to the discipline and dynamic vigour of Michelangelo.

His talk is occasioned by the publication of two recent works: Professor Wittkower's The Sculptures of Bernini, and Michelangelo: a Study in the Nature of Art by Adrian Stokes.
