From the late fifteenth to the late seventeenth century, Rome was
one of the most vibrant and productive centres for the visual arts
in the West. Artists from all over Europe came to the city to see
its classical remains and its celebrated contemporary art works, as
well as for the opportunity to work for its many wealthy patrons.
They contributed to the eclecticism of the Roman artistic scene,
and to the diffusion of 'Roman' artistic styles in Europe and
beyond. Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome is the first
book-length study to consider identity creation and artistic
development in Rome during this period. Drawing together an
international cast of key scholars in the field of Renaissance
studies, the book adroitly demonstrates how the exceptional quality
of Roman court and urban culture - with its elected 'monarchy', its
large foreign population, and unique sense of civic identity -
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.
