    Moves to Rome with the Duke of Mantua's introduction

    After a short stay in Venice he goes to Rome with an introduction from the Duke of Mantua to Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi, nephew of the late pope, who employs him for a time to restore ancient statues from his famous collection.

    Innocent X draws him to the papal court

    With the death of the Barberini pope Urban VIII and the accession of the Pamphilj pope Innocent X, the Barberini fall into disfavor and Bernini receives fewer commissions; Algardi, by contrast, is embraced by the new pope and the pope's nephew Camillo Pamphilj. His portraits are highly prized, their formal severity contrasting with Bernini's vivacity, and his large bronze of Innocent X is now in the Capitoline Museums.

  5. 1650

    Meets Velázquez; commissions from Spain

    He meets Diego Velázquez, who obtains commissions for his work from Spain: four chimney-pieces and the figures of the fountain of Neptune in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, and the tomb of the Count and Countess de Monterey in the Augustinian monastery at Salamanca.
