Abstract

This article discusses a large volume of essays by various scholars that focuses on the collection of antique sculptures owned by Agostino Chigi, a wealthy banker in Rome during the Renaissance. The collection, which was dispersed after Chigi's death, has recently been recognized as one of the most significant in the city. The volume also serves as a catalog for an exhibition held at the Villa Farnesina in Rome, which aimed to restore Chigi's sculptures to their original display spaces. The exhibition highlights the connection between Renaissance painting and antique sculpture and sheds new light on Chigi, his villa, and his collections. [Extracted from the article]
