Review
"No book on art is more intelligent, more learned and unpretentious, or more infused with passion; it is a tremendously exciting education in art, history, society, the advancement of thought and craft - in a word, in civilization."―New York Times
"It is a landmark publication. This is undoubtedly the introduction to Italian sculpture."―Times Literary Supplement
"This is a solid work of reference, with an absorbing and careful text, filled with penetrating analyses of monuments, fountains, and busts of the great Italian sculptors, and it is most unlikely to be superseded for many years to come."―Literary Review
"Magisterial and essential introductory survey of Italian sculpture. Pope-Hennessy's acute visual sensitivity and intelligent critique of plastic form enriches the reader's understanding."―The Art Book
"A survey unmatched in its breadth and depth."―Chicago Tribune
