...the Visitation deeply resonates with Florentine art and evolves the embrace of Mary and Elizabeth from the mosaic representing the Visitation scene on the vault of the Baptistery in Florence. ...Cristina Gnoni Mavarelli's chapter is rich in details on the securement of the loan for the Visitation from the church of the Pieve dei Santi Michele e Francesco in Carmignano, where, after the exhibition ended, the Visitation was reinstalled using a new system to improve the legibility of the work and to protect by anti-reflective glass (63). The theoretical and curatorial positions included in this catalogue, alongside the commentaries, impeccable illustrations, and notes give this J. Paul Getty Museum project an outstanding quality and purpose for scholars, students, and various readers alike.
