A daring attempt to rethink the authority of images in the Renaissance and their relationship with time. -Bookslut Anachronic Renaissance is a book so rich, challenging, and stimulating that every critique runs the risk of appearing as nitpicking.... In its intellectual ambitions...[it] seeks to reconceptualize nothing less than the idea of Renaissance art, north and south of the Alps. It is a fascinating, learned, and honest invitation to discussion, a must not only for Renaissance scholars. -CAA Reviews
