"This original study on the relationship between the Medici, print collectors and print buyers during the two centuries of the Princedom is based on a ten-year research. The research has highlighted high quality and consistency of a collection boasting excellences such as the 16th- and 17th-century Flemish and Dutch prints, thus taking a significant step forward in redefining the historical profile of the Uffizi Drawings and Prints Department."--Publisher's website
