Through their patronage & the gifts accorded them by emperors, kings, & other potentates, the almost 2,000-year succession of popes has inspired an extraordinary range of art made in the service of the sacred & the spiritual. Many of these works were commissioned from the most exalted artists & craftsmen of their time. The subsequent association of these works with the papacy has only added to their luster.
