Episode 307 - Bernini's "Fountain of the Four Rivers"

from Rebuilding The Renaissance

In 1651, with the help of the niece of Pope Innocent X, Bernini was able to sneak his design for the "Fountain of the Four Rivers" into the Pamphilj Palace. When Innocent saw it, he realized that despite being excluded from the competition, Bernini was clearly Rome's greatest artist and deserved the commission for the fountain.
