'readable and richly illustrated' David Mannings, The Burlington Magazine, July 2011

A most elegant and sophisticated summary of a complex subject, based on the most recent research. -David Watkin, Department of the History of Architecture, Cambridge University An excellent introduction to Neoclassicism. The text effortlessly summarises a great deal of scholarship in a clear, easily comprehensible language. -John Turpin, Department of the History of Art, National College of Art Design, Dublin On the Art & Ideas series Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing. -Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods... I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools. -Joachim Pissarro, Yale University Phaidon's series may prove to be the pick of the crop. It boasts expert but undogmatic texts and a wealth of illustrations. -The Sunday Telegraph
