About this person
Trained initially in geography and geomorphology at St Anne’s College, Oxford, she later redirected her intellectual trajectory after settling permanently in Florence in the early 1920s, where she immersed herself in the study of Italian painting and developed a close engagement with the traditions of connoisseurship associated with the Anglo-American circle of Bernard Berenson.
