The catalogue Magic of Drawing by Zdeněk Kazlepka and Martin Zlatohlávek caught the attention of Bram De Klerck, who wrote a review of it for the March issue of The Burlington Magazine.

De Kleck recalls that the catalogue contains thirty-six folios by the Campi brothers of Cremona: twenty-nine by Giulio (1507-72), five by Antonio (1523-87) and two by Vincenzo (1530/1435-91). Artists working in Lombardy and elsewhere in northern Italy are indeed well represented, occupying approximately forty percent of the 119 folios described in the publication. The handsomely produced, bound volume is written in Czech, followed by a full English translation. It is accompanied by color photographs of all the sheets discussed and black and white images of related artwork.

The catalogue can then be purchased at the ticket office of the Olomouc Museum of Art or on our e-shop.
