The jubilees of the two centuries in question, ranging from 1550 to 1750 and comprising styles extending from the Late Renaissance to the Late Baroque, are not examined in terms of their theological or religious value, but as occasions for renewing and enhancing the image of Rome. This was the objective of the Papal Court, but it also involved fraternities and private religious bodies, as well as artists, collectors, and scholars, both religious and secular, of the most varying backgrounds.
