Description
Sacred Possessions: Collecting Italian Religious Art, 1500-1900 explores how works of art created for religious purposes change meaning when they are removed from their original context. This volume brings together fourteen essays that examine the impact of collecting on celebrated paintings and lost artworks, shedding new light on the nature of "sacred" and "profane." By analyzing the consequences of collecting, this book charts a fertile terrain for further inquiry into the field of art history.
