Bernard Berenson (1865-1959) put the connoisseurship of Renaissance
art on a firm footing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. His monument is the library and collection of Italian
painting, Islamic miniatures, and Asian art at Villa I Tatti in
Florence. The authors in this collection of essays explore the
intellectual world in which Berenson was formed and to which he
contributed. Some essays consider his friendship with William James
and the background of perceptual psychology that underlay his
concept of "tactile values." Others examine Berenson's
relationships with a variety of cultural figures, ranging from the
German-born connoisseur Jean Paul Richter, the German art historian
Aby Warburg, the Boston collector Isabella Stewart Gardner, and the
American medievalist Arthur Kingsley Porter to the African-American
dance icon Katherine Dunham, as well as with Kenneth Clark, Otto
Gutekunst, Archer Huntington, Paul Sachs, and Umberto Morra.
Bernard Berenson: Formation and Heritage makes an important
contribution to the rising interest in the historiography of the
discipline of art history in the United States and Europe during
its formative years.
