Tommaso Astarita, Journal of Modern Italian Studies, Volume 17, Issue 2, 2012 Guarino's goals are achieved, in placing the visual court culture of Viceregal Naples in context of events and cultural shifts of the period, and in particular, by looking at the mostly positive reception of Spanish culture by the people of Naples . . . One of the chief strengths of this book is its clarity. Guarino is adept at setting up each chapter, and linking from section to section. . . Representing the King's Splendour is a useful and deeply thought through study, making use of an impressive variety of printed sources. Erebea, 2 (2012) [issn: 0214-0691] pp. 421-424. -- .
