Here for the first time the altarpieces of St. Peter's are considered collectively, within the liturgical and artistic program of the building as a whole. Louise Rice takes a comprehensive approach to this critical chapter in the history of Italian Baroque art, offering insight into the mechanisms, motives, and meanings of papal patronage in the premier church of Catholicism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Rice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521554705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521554701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 8.80w x 1.29d","brand":"Louise Rice","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128485081343,"sku":"9780521554701","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edf41791-bfd0-404e-a22a-5476fa986d1f.jpg?v=1687458894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-altars-and-altarpieces-of-louise-rice-9780521554701","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
