The Athenaeum says--"Byway of preface, a highly intelligent and critical
essay on the growth, aims, and developments of religious art in Italy by
Mr. F. T. Palgrave. Each well-weighed and thoughtful sentence is worth
reading. The general purport of the book is well represented by the
title. Mr. Palgrave vouches for the beauty of the drawings made by Mr.
Goodall, from which the chromolithographs were taken.... A very
ambitious effort has been extremely successful."
The Portfolio says:--"The eloquent and informing preface and the
critical notes on the pictures by Mr. F. T. Palgrave, are addressed to
an adult and cultured audience.... The literary part of the volume
deserves more careful consideration than is usually accorded to
letterpress penned to accompany even high-class illustrations."
The Art Journal says:--"A work which should be the most popular, as it
must be the handsomest, of Christmas books bearing a religious
character.... Twenty-four wonderful little chromo-lithographs from
drawings made on the spot.... The volume is in every way a beautiful
one."
