This richly illustrated exhibition catalog accompanies the major international exhibition Global Baroque (Barocco Globale) at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome. Organized in collaboration with the Galleria Borghese and other leading institutions, the show explores the international reach of Baroque art and culture during the 17th century, focusing on Rome’s cosmopolitan role as a hub of artistic and cultural exchange.

Featuring 100 masterpieces from prestigious museums worldwide — including works by Bernini, Van Dyck, and Poussin — alongside drawings, engravings, tapestries, and sacred objects, the exhibition sheds light on the city’s diplomatic, religious, and artistic connections with Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

The catalog offers in-depth essays by leading scholars on themes such as intercultural dialogue, global artistic influences, and the experiences of travelers, artists, and missionaries who shaped Baroque Rome’s visual culture.

A stunning art book and a valuable collectible for anyone interested in global art history, museum acquisitions, and the rich tapestry of Baroque creativity across continents.
