El Templo De La Fama

This biography of Gaspar de Haro Guzman (1629 .1687), VII Marquis of Carpio, also offers insight into the cites of Madrid, Rome, and Naples, where the Marquis was a diplomat. This is reflected in the books three sections: his time at the Madrid court (1629-1674) and transition to Italy (1674-1677), at the Rome Embassy (1677-1682), and, as Viceroy of Naples. This work attempts to assess the importance of each of his artistic initiatives and their repercussions on the history of art and art collecting.–Publisher.
