Reviews
"This book is not only the first monograph of this important Bolognese painter but is also a welcome and detailed study of Bolognese and Pistoiese art of the fourteenth century. With this study we return to the best traditions of art history."
-Dr. Karl-Georg Pfändtner, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich
"An important and illuminating book… the authors establish a set of critical guidelines for the proper appreciation and discussion of this undervalued master. It should now be impossible to discuss Lippo in the dismissive and lazy terms which have so signally contributed to his neglect, and it is perhaps this systematic and sympathetic application to Lippo’s work of a proper critical framework which constitutes this book’s most significant and permanent contribution to the literature of Italian painting…"
-Dr. John Richards, Senior Lecturer in History of Art, University of Glasgow
From the Foreword
"This new book, which presents arguments often independent of the most established tendencies of recent art history (consider, for example, the relationship between Lippo, his father Dalmasio, and his uncle Simone dei Crocefissi), situates the artist among the events of his own time and of the two cities in which he lived and worked, Pistoia and Bologna, offering a more detailed contribution to our understanding of the painter."
