Description: Discourse on Sacred and Profane Images (Texts & Documents) [Paperback] Paleotti, Gabriele; McCuaig, William and Prodi, Paolo Product Overview In the wake of the Counter-Reformation, Cardinal Gabriele Paleotti, the archbishop of Bologna, wrote a remarkable treatise on art during a time when the Church feared rampant abuse in the arts.
