Vincenzo Migliaro. (1858-1938)

Volume in 8° obl. (23.5 x 25 cm.) 160 pp. With over 150 mostly colour illustrations of works of art held in private collections, many of which have never been previously published. Extensive bibliography is also included. Elegant cloth-binding with colour, gold-impressed reproductions and hard-back slipcase. ... I am always more convinced that Vincenzo Migliaro is the only artist who ever really painted Naples. Anyone wishing to delve into the Naples characterised by Salvatore di Giacomo, Nicola Amore, di Matilde Serao and the "Camorra" trials will find a response in the brutal, violent and disdainful works of Vincenzo Migliaro. Certainly more fulfilling, in terms of illustrative impact, than the first daguerrotypes and photographs which were set in the worst artistic taste. (Raffaello Causa)
