Reviews & endorsements
"...an impressive collection of essays... The reader of this volume can thus find interesting material both in individual essays, and by considering the essays together, as a collection, which is a feat on which the editor has to be congratulated." The Art Book

"This anthology is an excellent introductory resource for those interested in pursuing further studies on Titian and his art. The studies presented are diverse and highly accessible. This aptly titled work is truly a companion to both the art history student and scholar." Comitatus
"Shaped under Meilman's guiding hand, this collection of eleven essays plus an introduction could well serve as a replacement to a standard monograph in a survey class." CAA Reviews, Maria Ruvoldt
