“The ‘Angels,’ or messengers, are: Cimabue, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, Titian, Raphael, Correggio and Claude. The author opens his book where his earlier volume, ‘Likeness of Christ Rex Regum,’ closed.... Each chapter has prefixed to it a portrait of the artist discussed, with a facsimile of his signature. The other illustrations (all are, by the way, in half-tone) are reproductions of some of the works of the masters.”—N. Y. Times.

[*] “It is also a pity that he clings to convention and regards Cimabue as ‘the first painter of the renaissance,’ when that honor rightly belongs to Giotto.”
