From Raphael to Carracci. The Art of Papal Rome

From Raphael to Carracci offers an unprecedented view of a group of works by some of the most celebrated names in Italian art, including Michelangelo, Raphael, Giorgio Vasari, Federico Barocci and Annibale Carracci, as well as lesser-known but superb artists, many of whom have only recently been appreciated for their skill and relevance. With contributions from more than forty international scholars, this lavishly illustrated publication illuminates one of the most extraordinary periods in art history: 16th-century Rome.
