Reviews

'Overall, Aavitsland's book is a tremendous contribution to the understudied subject of painting in medieval Rome. Ashgate is to be commended for this addition to their list of excellent recent titles exploring medieval Italy.' CAA Reviews 'The author brings an impressively wide range of iconographic comparative material to bear...' Burlington Magazine '... Aavitsland takes the scholarship of Roman Duecento to a new level, and one that shows great promise. ... Aavitsland has not merely provided us with a new and compelling understanding of a fresco program that has remained enigmatic among art historians for half a century, but she has also given late-duecento painting in Rome the broader artistic and intellectual context that it so often has been denied.' Speculum
