Docto peregrino. Roman studies in honour of Torgil Magnusson

Edited by Thomas Hall, Börje Magnusson & Carl Nylander

Preface

As Torgil Magnusson retires after more than thirty years as teacher and professor of Art History at the Swedish Institute in Rome, the Board of the Institute and his colleagues, students and friends—many of whom acquired their love of Renaissance and Baroque architecture and art from him—are happy to present him with this volume of Roman Studies. It is no small token of Torgil Magnusson’s contribution to Swedish art historical studies that his Festschrift introduces a new series of Art History publications from the Institute—a series which his scholarship and creative teaching have done so much to make possible.

Roland Pålsson, Chairman of the Board of the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome
