Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 21 Numerous factual discoveries mark the progress of knowledge through the past hundred years of archaeological research. Roman art has had its share of these discoveries; nevertheless, the recent discussions in this field have prob ably made their greatest contribution by bringing into focus the general problem of Roman art. As to the answers suggested, no agreement is yet in sight. At least it is evident today that one cannot write a history of Roman art, as one can set out to write a history of Egyptian or Greek art, by starting from a recognized, coherent body of works of art, which present an obvious unity of style, of inten tions and of means of expression. The terms Egyptian, Greek have an established meaning in the field of art; the meaning of the word Roman cannot so be taken for granted. The unity of Roman art is not obvious as a style or approach to artistic representation, like the Egyptian style. If a similar inner coherence existed at all in Roman art connecting its various manifestations; it must still be uncovered in'the diversity before us. The decision is mostly up to the modern student, as to what to call Roman and why, and the burden of proof rests on the critic. A history of Roman art cannot merely present and explain; it must first define its subject matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 27 While the importance of the cortile is easily recognized, the facade of the palace does not communicate its significance so readily. It too is unique. But as a work of the very late sixteenth century it is old-fashioned and even odd. A date earlier than 1590 changes this. Every decade, every year it can be pushed back increases its historical importance. The date, the significance, and the great architect of the Borghese facade were the most surprising revelations that the palace had in store.
