In the early fifteenth century, when Romans discovered ancient marble sculptures and inscriptions in the ruins, they often melted them into mortar. A hundred years later, however, antique marbles had assumed their familiar role as works of art displayed in private collections. Many of these collections, especially the Vatican Belvedere, are well known to art historians and archaeologists. Yet discussions of antiquities collecting in Rome too often begin with the Belvedere-that is, only after it was a widespread practice. In this important book, the author steps back to examine the 'long' fifteenth century, a critical period in the history of antiquities collecting that has received scant attention. Kathleen Wren Christian examines shifts in the response of artists and writers to spectacular archaeological discoveries and the new role of collecting antiquities in the public life of Roman elites. The book includes a detailed catalogue of the 36 most important antiquities collections formed before the Sack of Rome in 1527, which caused the dispersal of many of Rome's collections. This catalogue brings these vanished sites back to life, using archival documents, drawings and descriptions by visitors to clarify the history and appearance of little studied collections, such as those of the Sassi, Maffei and Cesarini families. This lucid and coherent account provides an entirely new overview of a singularly important subject. A work of interdisciplinary value, it will be equally significant to experts in renaissance literature, art and history.
