Reviews

"This work is notable for its rich, sensitive, and perceptive analysis of the artistic works, and the thought-provoking parallels and contrasts developed throughout."
*Modern Language Review*

"Stone makes a persuasive claim by demonstrating how Dutch realistic painting gradually chipped away at the French monarchy’s hold on ideas.[…] This claim is bold enough to require extensive explanation, which Stone provides within a strong conceptual framework."
*H-France*
