Reviews for George Romney: A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings
There is no doubting Kidson's heroic achievement in producing this catalogue, which has been designed and edited to an exceptionally high standard... By his meticulous research and with his fair-minded assessments Kidson has clearly placed Romney back on his pedestal in the pantheon of great British artists of the eighteenth century. -Stephen Lloyd, Burlington
