- 2015, Martin A. Ruehl, The Italian Renaissance in the German Historical Imagination, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 28:
- With its pilastered alcoves and richly decorated plafond, its baldachins, tapestries, brocade upholstery, and massive palm fronds, Makart's studio epitomized the neo-Renaissance style, also known as Renaissance Revival or German Renaissance, which defined the look of countless bourgeois parlours in the Second Empire.

- To be added, as a characteristic curiosity, K. Scheffler, Der Geist der Gotik, Leipzig 1925, which on strength of “by their fruits shall ye know them”, makes St. Peter's and, in the last analysis, the Pantheon, responsible for the Neo-Renaissance of the Victorian, Edwardian and Wilhelminian eras (without, however, blaming the results of the contemporary Gothic and Romanesque revivals on the Cathedrals of Speyer or Reims).
