Abstract (en)

Study of the tomb chapel of Paul V in S. Maria Maggiore, Rome, and its altar by Pompeo Targone after Girolamo Rainaldi, which houses the miraculous icon known as the Salus Populi Romani (or the Madonna of S. Luke). Finds that because of the long and revered history of the icon, the papal patronage of the site, and the nascent Baroque style of the altar, the Cappella Paolina serves as a paradigm for the Counter-Reformation display of icons.
