The =Church Quarterly Review= says:—“This book is a perfect
gem.... It is, indeed, a relief to turn to such matchless
designs as these. It would be impossible to speak too highly of
the knowledge of the history of art, the elevation of thought,
and the elegance of style which Mr. Palgrave displays.”
The =Spectator= says:—“The drawings are executed with much
skill; and the chromo-lithographic process is here employed
with delicacy and success. Mr. Palgrave’s notes are pertinent
and instructive. His Introduction is able and eloquent.”
The =Academy= says:—“This is a very beautiful book, and the
chromo-lithographs with which it is adorned, or rather, which
are illustrated by the text, reflect great credit on the care
and skill of all concerned in their production.”
The =Athenæum= says:—“By way 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 chromo-lithographs 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.”
