Summary:At the turn of the 15th century, Rome was in the midst of a dramatic transformation from what the 14th-century poet Petrarch had termed a 'crumbling city' populated by 'broken ruins' into a prosperous Christian capital. Scholars, artists, architects, and engineers fascinated by Rome were spurred to develop new graphic modes for depicting the city - and the genre known as the city portrait exploded. In 'Rome Measured and Imagined', Jessica Maier explores the history of this genre - which merged the accuracy of scientific endeavor with the imaginative aspects of art - during the rise of Renaissance print culture.
