Images of Change focuses on the visual propaganda employed by
Catholic popes in Rome during the time of Tridentine Reform. In
1563, at the Council of Trent, the Catholic Church decided to
reform its own use of imagery, in response to Protestant criticism.
This volume examines how different sixteenth-century popes dealt
with church reform by looking at the variety of artworks that were
commissioned particularly in the city of Rome, the immediate sphere
of influence of papal power. Based on original research in the
Vatican archives, the book argues that because of the contradictory
media strategies employed by individual popes, the papacy began to
lose its spiritual and temporal influence and power. This book will
appeal to students and scholars alike interested in the Roman
Catholic Church in and around the sixteenth-century, as well as
Early Modern religious reform and Papal influence.
