This is the second, revised and enlarged edition of this book first published in 1962. A pioneering study in the field of art patronage in Rome in the early 17th century. It proved invaluable to me in the early 1970's, when I was researching for my Master's thesis on a Roman altarpiece . I have returned to it many times since.
