Papacy and Politics in Eighteenth-Century Rome - Pius VI and the Arts (Hardcover)

Pius VI was the last great papal patron of the arts in the
Renaissance and Baroque tradition. This book presents the first
synthetic study of his artistic patronage and policies in an effort
to understand how he used the arts strategically, as a means of
countering the growing hostility to the old order and the supremacy
of the papacy. Pius' initiatives included the grand sacristy for St
Peter's, the new Vatican Museum of ancient art, and the re-erection
of Egyptian obelisks. These projects, along with Pius' use of
prints, paintings, and performances, created Pius' public persona,
and helped to anchor Rome's place as the cultural capital of
Europe.
