This fascinating book provides a fresh perspective on the
understanding of sacred imagery and its use through selected
studies related to seventeenthcentury Roman visual culture.
Painting, Patronage and Deovtion: A Focus on Seven Roman Baroque
Masterpieces will accompany an exhibition of works by prominent
Baroque artists, at the Villa Mondragone, a Renaissance Papal Villa
in the countryside of Rome. The highlight of catalogue and
exhibition is a group of masterpieces by seven prominent artists of
the seventeenth century: six altarpieces by Carlo Saraceni,
Valentin de Boulogne, Andrea Sacchi, Andrea Camassei, Pietro da
Cortona, and Carlo Maratti, and one easel painting by Guido Reni
commissioned for private devotion. Most of the paintings will be on
public view for the first time. The publication offers new
approaches to the study of the complex processes involved in the
making of a work of art. By reconstructing the religious and social
dynamics of artistic patronage and the context of worship and
devotion in which these paintings - fully documented by primary
sources - were executed, the volume explores the visual impact of
these works on the viewers. This beautifully illustrated book will
feature remarkable new photographs and details of diagnostic
analysis of Pietro da Cortona's and Carlo Maratti's altarpieces.
