Now, in \u003ci\u003eThe History of Rome in Painting,\u003c\/i\u003e that entire span is brought to life through the visions of the greatest painters of the past millennium.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs two previous Abbeville volumes, \u003ci\u003eThe History of Paris in Painting\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe History of Venice in Painting,\u003c\/i\u003e did for their respective cities, Rome provides the most luxurious possible visual presentation of one of the world’s most beautiful places. Editors Maria Teresa Caracciolo and Roselyne de Ayala, with the help of six other expert contributors, guide the reader through the colorful and tumultuous history of the Eternal City, from its humble origins as a village on the Palatine Hill to the cultural explosion of the Renaissance, from its reinvention as the capital of modern Italy to the watershed of the Lateran Treaty and beyond. Here you will find portraits of the city’s most famous and controversial leaders—from Julius Caesar to Mussolini—as well as its long succession of popes and aristocratic families. Depicted also, in brilliant detail, are the city’s architectural and sculptural landmarks: Saint Peter’s Basilica, Trajan’s Column, the Fontana di Trevi, and many more.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith its more than three hundred full-color illustrations, including four spectacular gatefolds; its insightful text, written by leading art historians; and its valuable apparatus, including capsule biographies of 175 artists; \u003ci\u003eThe History of Rome in Painting\u003c\/i\u003e is an important achievement in scholarship and publishing and a fitting tribute to the Eternal City. It is a true feast for art lovers, travelers, and historians alike.
