A collection of nine essays on the artistic and musical patronage of Pope Urban VIII Barberini (reigned 1623-44) and his family until the death of his last cardinal-nephew in 1679. Â Drawing frequently on unpublished archival sources, this series of interlocking studies examines the magnificent events sponsored by this patronage and their effects on the family's fortunes. While artistic projects in the early years of Urban's rule had been approached as a means to achieve political and material advancement for the family, over time the motivation behind artistic endeavors shifted to the maintenance of the family's high status, through the prominent use of symbols and images. Â First Edition. Â Paperback, 324 p.
