Sheds light on the relationship between portraiture, social affirmation and the myth of Antiquity as it was experienced and elaborated in 18th-century Rome. This book offers insights and readings into how the experience of the City in terms of abstract or concrete appropriation affected the ways of portraying innate or visiting elite sitters.
