About this title

Review:

"Rich in fact, detailed in prose, and colorful in presentation, this title sets a new standard."--Library Journal, starred review
--Library Journal

"Though several recent art historical studies have examined the plantation landscape, no comprehensive volume tackling the rich history of painting production in the South from 1564 through 1791 has existed until now. With this monumental study, Weekley. . . fills this lacuna thoroughly and handsomely."--Choice
