Note(s) : "This volume, the twentieth in the series Issues & Debates, evolved from "Sacred Possessions
? Italy and Collecting Religious Art, 1500-1900, a conference organised by the Bibliotheca
Hertziana and the Getty Research Institute and held at the American Academy in Rome,
19-21 June 2007.". - Includes bibliographical references and index
When works of art created for religious purposes outlive their original function,
they often take on new meanings as they move from sacred spaces to secular collections.
Religious art embodies a complicated amalgam of the aesthetic and the numinous, and
the fourteen essays in this volume explore how the admixture changes--often radically--with
changes of function, setting, audience, and the passage of time. Focusing on the centuries
in which the phenomenon of collecting came powerfully into its own, these essays analyze
the radical recontextualization of celebrated paintings by Raphael, Caravaggio, and
Rubens; bring to light a lost holy tower from fifteenth-century Bavaria; and offer
new insights into the meaning of "sacred" and "profane" [Publisher description]
