Bernard Berenson (1865-1959) was an Lithuanian-American art historian, revered for his work in the attribution of paintings to the old masters. His book, Drawings of the Florentine Painters, was successful all round the English-speaking work. He founded and led the Harvard Center for Italian Renaissance Studies which was headquartered at his Italian home in Settignano, near Florence.
