Description
Cardinal Azzolino was chosen to act as the unofficial liaison between Queen Kristina and the Pope in 1655. This bust is a typical official portrait in the Roman Baroque style. The movement in the sculpture suggests that Azzolino is interrupted while in the middle of a thought. Kristina and Azzolino became close friends and shared many interests and political goals. He inherited Kristina’s art collection but died shortly after her.
