內容簡介: |
Rome as we know it is largely a creation of the Renaissance,
restructured and risen anew from a neglected medieval town. This
book traces the extraordinary works of painting, sculpture and
architecture commissioned by Rome''s church and civic nobility as
part of their rival bids for power and prestige. With the aid of
118 illustrations, most of them in colour, Loren Partridge charts
the course of Rome''s transformation into the most magnificent
showpiece of the Catholic world.
