Conclusion |
| |
Pietro da Cortona’s skill as a painter, architect and designer made him sought after, above all others, by the most powerful families in Italy. Each had a specific message they wanted to promote to the world about the place of their respective family names in the course of history. The more established the family dynasty, the more self-aggrandizing the scheme. As his fame spread across Italy, Cortona was able to consistently improve upon himself, creating innovative programs befitting the glorified expectations of his patrons and developing a macchina that would inspire artists for generations.
