Baroque Antiquity: Archaeological Imagination in Early Modern Europe
Victor Plahte Tschudi
Why were seventeenth-century antiquarians so spectacularly wrong? Even if they knew what ancient monuments looked like, they deliberately distorted the representation of them in print. This pioneering study combines several histories to show how Roman antiquity was transformed to appeal to popes and princes alike in the Baroque period.
