It is the first full-scale study dedicated to this artist, well-illustrated and finely produced, edited by Keith Sciberras of the University of Malta with contributions by an eminent group of international scholars working in the field of Baroque art.
Description:	This document contains information with regard to art heritage activities in Malta and Europe, including conferences, seminars, exhibitions and lectures.
