Berninis unbekanntes Meisterwerk: Die Galleria Colonna in Rom und das Kunstpatronat des roemischen Uradels

Despite their central position in Baroque art, the Galleria Colonna in Rome and the question of art patronage by the ancient Roman aristocracy have never before been the focus of an in-depth analysis. This volume remedies this lack, reconstructing the architectural history of the Palazzo Colonna and its furnishings through important newly found documents and studying the cultural patronage of Romes first family in its political and social context.
