Abstract (en)

Reconstructs Farnese's development and influence as a patron; shows how he began with decorative art and then embarked on a series of secular commissions, especially the fresco decorations by Vasari in the Sala dei Cento Giorni (Rome, Palazzo della Cancelleria); Farnese family portraits and mythologies by Titian; and the Villa Farnese at Caprarola by Vignola, with fresco decorations by Taddeo Zuccari and his workshop. In the 1560s, in the climate of the Counter-Reformation, he turned to commissions for religious works and built a number of churches, including the Gesù in Rome.
