Reviews for Pompeo Batoni: A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings
It fully holds up Yale's reputation as the world's best art publisher: scrupulous scholarship, superb illustrations and matchless reproductions. Batoni was the most accomplished of the Grand Tour portraitists, and for anyone building up a library of 18th-century culture, this is a must. -Paul Johnson, Spectator
