Editorial Reviews
Review
'This is a formidable book. It contains an exhaustive search of ancient literature and a vast range of visual material. Despite the length and sheer amount of material, the clear, engaging style ensures that the reader remains involved and informed. In updating, and reflecting on, the story of Roman painting, it deserves to become the standard work on the subject for some time to come.' Art History
