St. Augustine's Press

No royal family, imperial dynasty, or principality can boast the long and uninterrupted sequence of masterpieces that papal portrait artists offer, in both the quality of the works and breadth of history. This work constitutes one of the most important expositions of Italian portrait artists ever realized – including Raphael, Tiziano, Pulzone, Bernini, Baciccio, Batoni, Mengs, Manzù, and many other great painters and sculptors. It is an extraordinary collection of images of the popes from the Renaissance to today.
