This seminar will consider Early Modern representations of the city of Rome drawn from the rich holdings of Emory's libraries and museum. Students will work with original documents: maps, prints and rare books, to consider such topics as topography and urban development in cartographic images of the Eternal City, the tradition of the Roman architectural views or vedute; prints of ephemeral events from papal funerals to the moving of obelisks; guidebooks and pilgrimage paths through the city. Among the artists, architects, and etcher/engravers we will consider are: Pirro Ligorio, Giovanni Battista Falda, Gianlorenzo Bernini, and Giambattista Piranesi.
