`impressive ... compares well with other recent offerings on the
same subject'
The Bookseller
`Fully and often surprisingly illustrated, carefully annotated and
captioned, each combines a historical overview with a nicely
opinionated individual approach.'
Independent on Sunday
`These two books in a new series, the Oxford History of Art, are
welcome attempts to assimilate genuine and informed scholarship of
the best sort to some, at least, of the ostensible aims of what
refers to itself as the 'new' art history. If these volumes are
anything to go by, the series will provide authoritative and
reliable essays on key aspects of the history of art, in a
convenient format and, given the high quality, quantity and range
of the
illustrations, at an astonishingly reasonable price. This is an
extraordinarily wide-ranging book within its brief compass, full of
insights and information of a kind not readily met with, and Dr
Welch always
reminds us of how art appeared and functioned within its context,
both historical and topographical. The book is also notably well
and clearly written.'
Robin Simon, Apollo Magazine: May 1997
`thought-provoking ... Accessible and clearly written'
Yorkshire Post (Leeds)
`a superb piece of publishing'
Rupert Christiansen, Spectator
