This catalogue documents the 1979 exhibition held at the Palazzo della Pilotta in Parma, exploring the art produced in Parma from the Farnese to the Bourbon period (roughly 16th–18th centuries). The essays and nearly 500 pages of illustrations cover painting, sculpture, architecture and patronage in the duchy of Parma, highlighting themes of ducal display, academic institutions, shifting political control and stylistic transitions from late-Renaissance to early-Neoclassicism. By linking the Farnese and Bourbon dynastic regimes, the volume offers a nuanced regional study of how power, culture and the arts intertwine in a provincial yet historically rich court city. The catalogue thus serves both as documentation of the exhibition and as a significant contribution to the field of regional art history, court culture, and 18th-century Italian art.
