Opis

Considering identity creation and artistic development in Rome during this period, this collection adroitly demonstrates how the exceptional quality of Roman court and urban culture interacted with developments in the visual arts. With its distinctive chronological span and uniquely interdisciplinary approach, Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome puts forward an alternative history of the visual arts in early modern Rome, one that questions traditional periodisation and stylistic categorisation.

Recenzje

’... an extraordinarily well-coordinated collection of essays by twelve international scholars on art and patronage in fifteenth- to seventeenth-century Rome.’ Renaissance Quarterly

'The volume is an excellent collection of essays... There is little to fault in this collection; drawing equally from ’traditional’ history and history of art, blends the two approaches into a truly interdisciplinary volume... the volume overall is immensely instructive, identifying areas that deserve further and more thorough investigation, where the traditional historiography does no longer apply or suffice to answer all the questions.' Renaissance Studies
