The Bust of Francesco Barberini is a marble sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.. It was executed in 1626. It was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII who was nephew of Francesco Barberini. Francesco had actually died in 1600 so Bernini created the bust from an existing painted portrait.
