Reviews for Nicola and Giovanni Pisano: Father and Son

In this monumental work, Seidel brings together his lifelong engagement with two of the most impressive Italian sculptors of the Middle Ages, Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. Never before--nor since--have a father and son met on an artistic level in quite this way, and this two-volume set goes beyond a typical biography to explore their fascinating collaboration. -- Speculum (2/7/2014 12:00:00 AM) This massive and lavishly illustrated book is oriented around the clarification of a single problem: the artistic relationship of Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. . . . Father and Son brings together in one place many insights from [Seidel's] wide-ranging research. As such, it will be invaluable to every student of the field. -- Sculpture Journal (10/22/2015 12:00:00 AM)
