"It is updated, far more inclusive than the available texts, and takes a fresh approach to scholarly work." - Victor Coonin, Rhodes College "A well-written and researched book, more thorough than most general textbooks, with good scholarship and good illustrations, student-friendly, and a good basis for lectures." - Jill E. Blondin, The University of Texas at Tyler "The clear formal analysis of each monument, seamlessly incorporated into discussions of iconography, social and historical context, and other conditions of each commission, piece together the grand scenography and aims of Baroque artists and patrons. The text invites the reader to imagine the world in which these works were produced by including carefully researched histories and interpretations." - Lisa Hanes, University of South Florida "A promising new book on the subject, worth looking at." - Jennifer Webb, University of Minnesota "Clearly written and unfolds very logically. It is a pleasure to read and very interesting." - Lisa Rafanelli, Manhattanville College
