  Focusing on the centuries in which the phenomenon of collecting came powerfully into its own, this title analyzes the radical recontextualization of celebrated paintings by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Rubens; brings to light a lost holy tower from fifteenth-century Bavaria; and offers new insights into the meaning of 'sacred' and 'profane'.
