In this illustrated account of the sack of Rome as a cultural and artistic phenomenon, Andr茅 Chastel reveals the historical ambiguities of preceding events and the traumatic contrast between the flourishing world of art under Pope Clement VII and the city after it was looted by the troops of Emperor Charles V in 1527. Chastel illuminates the cultural repercussions of the humiliation of Rome, emphasizing the spread or 鈥淓uropeanization鈥 of the Mannerist style by artists who fled the city鈥攊ncluding Parmigianino, Rosso, Polidoro, Peruzzi, and Perino del Vaga. At the same time, Clement鈥檚 critics used the new media of printing and engraving to win over the people with caricatures and satirical writings, while Rome responded with monumental works affirming the legitimacy of the pope鈥檚 temporal power. Chastel explores both the world that was lost by the sack and the great works of art created during Rome鈥檚 recovery.
