The masterpieces of world painting that this book describes are in Rome, not only in state or municipal museums, but also in the famous palazzos.
Magnificent palaces, the repositories of many remarkable art collections - the legacy of the noble families who once ruled Rome and made a significant contribution to Italian history - are now open to the public. The reader will be able to make a fascinating journey through the halls of a huge museum, the general background of which is the Eternal City, which set the tone in the artistic and cultural life of different eras. In addition to paintings by the great Italians Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto and others, the album includes paintings by famous European artists who once came to Rome or worked there - Holbein, Rubens, Van Dyck, Cranach, Poussin, El Greco, Mengs. Twentieth-century art is represented by works by Boldini, De Chirico, Guttuso, Morandi, Miró, Ernst, Man Ray, and Pollock. The introductory article describes the noble families who collected these priceless works of art and bequeathed them to their hometown, Rome. Marco Bussagli is an art historian and professor at the Roman Academy of Fine Arts. He is the author of more than 150 publications, including a number of monographs, scientific and popular science articles. In 2006 he directed the 60-volume series Great Themes of Painting prepared by De Agostini Publishing House. His books have been translated into English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Romanian, Japanese and Korean. For Magnus Publishing, he wrote the book "Rome. Art Through the Ages."
