Description:
|
|
Located in the Museo di Roma (Palazzo Braschi). Having ranked among Rome’s best sculptors in the early 1630s, Mochi was soon overshadowed by Bernini and Alessandro Algardi. During the last twenty years of his career Mochi had only five significant commissions, and two of these were withdrawn and awarded to Bernini and Algardi. The marble group of the Baptism (ca. 1634-1650) and his SS Peter and Paul (1638-1652) were both rejected by their patrons and subsequently installed in locations other than those for which they had been intended. These late 'expressionistic' works have generated more discussion than any other aspect of Mochi’s career. One interpretation suggests that they are reversions to Florentine Mannerism.
