Il libro, che funge anche da catalogo alla mostra di New York e Eugene, tratta in modo completo il ciclo di arazzi dedicato alla Vita di Cristo, uno dei grandi "monumenti" della Roma barocca, commissionati dal cardinal Francesco Barberini. L'attenta lettura che ne fa James Harper li situa nel contesto stilistico del Barocco maturo e in quello della propaganda politica e sociale del loro committente. Il primo capitolo introduce la Roma di papa Urbano VIII. I capitoli successivi ripercorrono la storia della manifattura privata del cardinale Barberini e l'attività di Giovanni Francesco Romanelli (1610-1662), che disegnò i cartoni per gli arazzi. Basandosi sui documenti dell'epoca, l'autore ricostruisce i modi in cui il ciclo di arazzi veniva utilizzato dai Barberini tracciando così una vera e propria storia del gusto. Il capitolo successivo segue lo spostamento degli arazzi negli Stati Uniti nella cattedrale di St. John the Divine, sullo sfondo della storia del collezionismo della gilded age. Infine, Marlene Eidelheit discute gli aspetti tecnici degli arazzi e il lungo lavoro di restauro che ha preceduto mostra e libro.

Zustand: as new. With contributions by Marlene Eidelheit. Milano : Officina Libraria, 2017. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 187 pp. Illustrations. 29 cm. - This book is the result of an intense conservation effort, which restored these magnificent works of art to their former glory after a fire burnt two of the tapestries and damaged four more in 2001. Accompanied by two important exhibitions on America's East and West coasts, these tapestries are fragments of history: they were once displayed at St. Peter's Basilica and in the Sistine ChapelThis book is the first sustained scholastic treatment of the Life of Christ tapestries, which were commissioned by Pope Urban VIII's nephew, Cardinal Francesco Barberini. Covering over 2800 square feet, the series is one of the grandest monuments of seventeenth century Rome. A close reading of each panel sets the tapestries into a number of overlapping contexts; they indicate the stylistic advances of the high Baroque period, as well the political and social agendas of their patrons. The introductory chapter lays out the context of Urban VIII's Rome. Subsequent chapters reconstruct the history of Cardinal Barberini's private tapestry commissions, and the activity of Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, the supervising designer of the Life of Christ. The contemporary usage and display of the tapestries is discussed, as is the transfer of the series to the United States and its subsequent display in New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
