Joseph Archer Crowe Books

Sir Joseph Archer Crowe was an English consular official and art critic. His seminal work, co-written with Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle, stands at the dawn of disciplined modern art history writing in English. This approach is rooted in detailed chronologies of individual artists' development and the critical connoisseurship required to identify unique artistic manners, or "hands".
