{"product_id":"9781606061169","title":"Discourse on Sacred and Profane Images","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the wake of the Counter-Reformation, Cardinal Gabriele Paleotti, the archbishop of Bologna, wrote a remarkable treatise on art during a time when the Church feared rampant abuse in the arts. Translated into English here for the first time, Paleotti’s \u003ci\u003eDiscourse on Sacred and Profane Images\u003c\/i\u003e argues that art should address a broad audience and explains the painter’s responsibility to his spectators. The \u003ci\u003eDiscourse\u003c\/i\u003e is introduced by historian Paolo Prodi, who explains how—even if the archbishop did not succeed in reforming the arts—Paleotti’s treatise constituted one last synthesis of art as a reading of creation and salvation history, and “sacred” art as a vehicle of devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Getty Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041723662576,"sku":"9781606061169","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606061169_p0.jpg?v=1763828789","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606061169","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
