Prize: Honorable Mention for the IFPDA Book Award, 2011 'This book is a study of sixteenth-century reproductive engravings after Michelangelo. Bernadine Barnes gives an excellent, well-organised overview of this vast production (141 prints appear on her checklist) and successfully deals with the basic problem that, notwithstanding Michelangelo's fame, until now this oeuvre had been regarded as of only secondary importance.' Burlington Magazine '. offers a nuanced and insightful account both of prints after Michelangelo and more generally of reproductive engraving during the sixteenth century.' Renaissance Quarterly '. the study of Michelangelo's reproductive prints is an obvious place to begin to reconsider the role of reproductions in the visual culture of the Renaissance. Barnes's study succeeds as an excellent source to begin such a reassessment . [and] can be regarded as a strong contribution to the scholarly literature of Renaissance visual culture.
