Media Reviews
Dealing with oft-told tales, [Levey] manages to be fresh and compelling. Intellectual context is a constant concern of his, and in untangling the threads of Florentine politics and weaving them together with the strands of cultural history he achieves a welcome clarity...In painting his Florence portrait, like those Florentine portrait painters of the Renaissance, Sir Michael never fails to add the small, illuminating detail...[An] invaluable [book].--William Weaver New York Times Book Review
