Malcolm Bull is head of Art History at the Ruskin
School of Drawing and Fine Art, University of Oxford, and a Fellow

"With a balance of myth and history, The Mirror of the Gods is at
once both satisfyingly intellectual and deliciously juicy.... For
the art history buff, a perfect curl-up-on-the-couch read; for the
rest of us, a fascinating glimpse into the meanings encoded in our
favorite paintings."--The Artist's Magazine
"Bull analyses the widespread impact of the ancient Greek and Roman
gods on the artistic imaginations of the day, detailing how their
art not only affected subsequent artists, but the cultural milieu
of their day. Comprehensive."--Art Times
"A terrific god-by-god account of the Renaissance's reimagining of
mythology.... Expert or layperson, one cannot come away from this
book without a much deepened appreciation of the achievement of
Renaissance art."--Publishers Weekly
