The book, curated by the expert on Italian drawings of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Claire Van Cleave, will trace the history of the collection of drawings once owned by the Farnese family from its origins in Rome to the present day. In its heyday, the collection included over 600 works on paper by Michelangelo, Raphael, Parmigianino, Giulio Clovio, Sofonisba Anguissola, Leonardo da Vinci, Annibale Carracci, Albrecht Dürer, and many other Italian artists of the sixteenth century. The collection passed by descent from Elisabetta Farnese to her son Carlo di Borbone in Naples and later formed the basis of the collections now housed in the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte.
