Rome by Richard Krautheimer
Surveying the city's life from Christian Antiquity through the Middle Ages, this book focuses on monuments of art and architecture as they reflect the historical events, the ideological currents, and the meaning Rome. It tells a story in which the heritage of antiquity intertwines with the living presence of Christianity.
"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
