"Roberto Longhi's brilliant book on Piero Della Francesca, first published in 1927, is perhaps the first and certainly the fullest account of the artist to emerge from the cult of Post-Impressionism....The immense excitement in his writing--and it is a quality which also makes him exhausting--derives from his closeness to the picture."
Nicholas Penny, Threepenny Review, 04/17/2003

Yet Pater's criticism is always on the verge of metamorphosing into poetry. With Longhi, the scholar and the poet are seamlessly fused, resulting in prose that is palpable and radiant as the Renaissance paintings he describes so meticulously: an object of rare beauty indeed."ÑJohn Ashbery Roberto Longhi is "the most brilliant Italian art historian of our century and a stylist of intoxicating powers . . . few of his very idiosyncratic works have been translated into English; but thanks to the enterprise of the Sheep Meadow Press, this situation is at last being remedied."ÑFrancis Haskell, New York Review of Books Roberto Longhi (1890-1970) is regarded by Italians as their most important art critic, art historian, and prose stylist of this century, with unsurpassed powers of observation and description.
