"Collectively, these essays demonstrate that Trent did have an effect on the visual arts; there was certainly no Tridentine style, but all of the artists studied in this collection shared at least one goal—namely, producing work that was appropriate for the postcouncil church. ...With such diverse results, the best way to understand the art and architecture of the age is with collections of excellent essays, such as these."--Renaissance Quarterly"This edited collection of fifteen concise, tightly-argued chapters by emerging and established scholars, furnished with an editor’s introduction, index, over seventy black-and-white illustrations, and thirteen color plates, offers a valuable contribution from an art historical perspective to the recent upswing of publications across fields in historical studies that critically reevaluate the impact and legacy of the Council of Trent and its declarations during the late sixteenth and early-to-mid seventeenth centuries."--Journal of Jesuit Studies
