Аннотация:AbstractThe defining image of the Eternal City for more than a century, Francesco Rosselli's monumental engraving of Rome (ca. 1485/87–90), now lost, was a milestone in urban representation. Rosselli's view embodied a new approach to depicting the city that emphasized physical resemblance while conveying a strong sense of urban identity. The success of Rosselli's paradigm, appropriated by generations of later artists, demonstrates the breadth and strength of the print market. The print's history provides a revealing case study of the establishment, transmission, and transformation of a paradigm, and it raises important questions of authorship and innovation in Renaissance print culture.
