Paul Mellon Lecture - Renaissance and Baroque Rome: The Art of Urban Form, February 2015
Rome, Italy offers a wider spectrum of urban configurations than any other city, from the twisting arterial streets of the Campus Martius, through the straight streets of the Renaissance, to the spacious and well-watered splendor of such dynastic spaces as Piazza Farnese, Piazza Barberini, Fontana di Trevi, and Piazza Navona. Artistic Visions of Renaissance and Baroque Rome provides a look at the political and religious alliances and enmities that helped shape these spaces and the artistic visions that gave them meaning and flair.
