VG/G+ (book shows very minimal shelf wear, all pages clear and intact-dust jacket shows wear at edges, few tiny tears) Green cloth boards with gold gilt lettering on spine, green and color illustrated dust jacket with white lettering, 628 pp., mostly color illustrations. "Caught between the theatricality of the Baroque and the acute sensibility of Romanticism, art in Rome in the eighteenth century has long been a neglected area of study. Yet during this period the city remained as much the center of the art world as it had been during the High Renaissance. As such, it attracted a steady stream of visitors, aristocratic northern Europeans making the Grand Tour. Of course the presence in the city of so many wealthy travelers provided aspiring artists with irrestible opportunities for patronage and, eventually, fame. But there was also the chance to study at first hand the culture of antiquity, and the lure of the past became increasingly powerful as the century progressed and archaeology provided ever more inspiring images of the classical ideal. All this transpired within and unparalleled academic environment, where draftsmanship was respected as nowhere else, in institutions such as the Accademia dell'Arcadia, which sought to promote an image of the artist as heir to a simple, pastoral tradition, and to which many of the leading figures of the time-artists, clerics, and potentates-belonged...The grand scale and spectacular diversity of the period are comprehensively captured for the first time in this definitive history of the period, produced to accompany a major US exhibition organized by the Philadephia Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and documenting the work of over 150 artists. With over 450 illustrations, and texts by an outstanding array of experts from around the world, Art in Rome in the Eighteenth Century provides a massively authoritative survey of a fascinating era."-dust jacket description.
