| Abstract | Following Richard Krautheimer's proposal that Rome is a 'living organism' whose history and development is expressed in the city's buildings and art, three sessions focusing on the 'Art of Rome' will examine new issues and research on the Eternal City during the period of the Middle Ages. This session, focusing on icons and portraiture, will examine the changing nature of 'likeness' through a consideration of holy images and portraits of important personages. The final paper will examine the evaluation of icons during the period of the Counter-Reformation |
