"Chens book does an impressive job of presenting a series of studies that offer a view onto the large and varied terrain of the Italian flagellant companies art patronage. Chen is to be commended especially for his inclusion and careful analysis of objects that art historians sometimes overlook." - Douglas N. Dow, Renaissance Quarterly, Volume LXXIII, No. 1 "Chens is a rich, interdisciplinary study of the visual and material culture found in flagellant confraternities. Through detailed analyses of arts and rituals, he paints a clear picture of public flagellant processions and private devotions. ... Chens analyses, along with the plates, make this volume a strong contribution to art and flagellation history, as well as to religious and confraternity studies." - Nilab Ferozan, Renaissance and Reformation, Fall 2019 "The book makes an original contribution to our knowledge of Italian flagellant confraternities and their art by offering a fresh perspective from which to examine a subject that does, indeed, deserve more attention = an innovative work of great interest that contributes significantly to the history of Italian art and confraternities in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance." - Marco Piana, Confraternitas, Volume 30, 2019 "[ This is] an interesting volume with many little-known images in good reproduction and meaningful text passages, which promotes knowledge of the piety exercises and works of art of the penitential brothers." - Prof. Dr. habil. Peter Dinzelbacher, Mediaevistik, 32 . 2019 (translated from German)
