Catalogue of an exhibition in honor of the Sesquicentenary of the Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio. Through their patronage & the gifts accorded them by emperors, kings, & other potentates, the almost 2,000-year succession of popes has inspired an extraordinary range of art made in the service of the sacred & the spiritual. Many of these works were commissioned from the most exalted artists & craftsmen of their time. The subsequent association of these works with the papacy has only added to their luster. This highly focused exhibition presents more than 30 of the most compelling sacred works in the papal collection. Includes 32 full-color plates.

The Majesty of the Papal Collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vatican Treasures: Early Christian, Renaissance, and Baroque Art from the Papal Collections : An Exhibition in Honor of the Sesquicentenary of the Diocese of Cleveland (Hardcover)
Being someone not of the catholic faith, at first i was driven from anything with the word "Pope" on it, but those religious inhibitions were shortly erased when I saw thise book! i had no idea the vatican contained such spectacular works of art, and from periods which i adore such as the Boroque! The collection is not just a few alter pieces from Byzantium, but rather is a study of art itself and a study in the masterpieces of the periods in its history. This book is incredibly inspirational, i would recomend it to anyone! even someone who doesnt like art! this fabulous volume is worth every penny one pays for it, and is one of the great finds of my endless book collecting
