Аннотация:

For centuries, Rome, the unique city on the Tiber, has stood unchallenged at the focus of artistic interest. At the crossroads of East and West, Rome can claim to have been at the cutting edge of European art in the course of its two-thousand-year history. The small town of Romulus became the capital of an empire, the papal seat, and a city-state in the Middle Ages; Rome was the splendid Renaissance stage, the cradle of the Baroque and the birthplace of Neoclassicism. This book presents the magnificent range of artistic creativity in the city. It offers a comprehensive and concise guide to the city's artistic evolution from the early Christian beginnings and sheds light upon the complex areas of fine arts, architecture and urban development.
