- A work that examines the relationship between music and the visual arts from antiquity to the 18th century, exploring how it was conceived by artists and musicians, by critics and theorists of art
- A fascinating exploration of theoretical as well as physical evidence - in the form of paintings, ceramics and manuscripts, to reveal how deeply musical ideas influenced theory and criticism of the visual arts
- A rich variety of subject matter, ranging from the ancient mathematician Pythagorus to the 16th-century architect Palladio and the 17th-century painter Poussin
- Written in a lucid and elegant style that brings the subject to life, by an author whose expertise and knowledge are exceptionally wide-ranging
