Rome

Richard Krautheimer was Professor at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. He authored numerous works, including The Rome of Alexander VII, 1655-1667 and Lorenzo Ghiberti (both Princeton).

"Krautheimer's book shows us what history and art history can be when they are truly combined."--Speculum "It would be difficult to find a word other than masterpiece to describe this book."--Church History "Everyone should be grateful for this learned and humane work, which combines a powerful grasp of the principles and minutiae of the history of Western art with a detailed topographical grasp of this complex city."--The New York Review of Books "The new edition of the Profile is a welcome return of an unsurpassed study of a period of Rome's history that is difficult to tell ... [It] is difficult to find fault in such an undertaking or to review its significance when few would dare attempt the same project today."--C.M. Richardson, The Art Book
