"This book is written with verve and wit, and examines an important subject from an uncommonly revealing viewpoint." Frank Whitford, Sunday Times "Rona Goffen's writing is well informed, energetic and lucid and the production of the book is excellent." Michale Bury, Burlington Magazine "A stunning book." Royal Academy Magazine "Who would have thought that the serene masterpieces of the High Renaissance owed so much of their vitality to backstage brawling? Only Rona Goffen knows enough to trace these labyrinthine rivalries. In her book the artists take on cinematic vitality, making us see the artefacts produced by such creative brawlers in entirely new ways. They are knockouts. So is her book." Garry Wills "This lively and appealing book is an important achievement... Magnificently researched and handsomely produced, Renaissance Rivals advances the discussion of a central aspect of early modern culture. In doing so, it has no rivals." Werner Gundersheimer, American Scholar"
