	Bernard Berenson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Berenson was born to a Jewish family in Butrimonys (Vilna), Lithuania.
		Berenson was considered to have one of the greatest eyes for Renaissance art in the world, and a verdict of authenticity from him was worth a fortune in his day.
		In 1931, Berenson was called to give expert witness in the famous case brought by Andrée Hahn against Joseph Duveen over the attribution of a version of the Da Vinci painting La belle Ferronière, which she planned to sell.

		The motifs and mood of the story prefigure in a striking and somber way some of the concerns that obsessed Berenson throughout his life, and of which he was not always consciously aware.
		...When Berenson was a young man, in the 80's and 90's of the last century, a talented outsider could not only take heart from the creed of the limitless potentialities of human nature but also from the fashionable paradox that life imitated art...
		...Berenson was aware that he had failed to achieve a masterwork and the awareness hinted further at some basic incoherence undermining his philosophy...

		Berenson was born into a Jewish family in Lithuania, and came to the U.S. as a youngster.
		Berenson says that when he uses the term ‘conversationalist’ he doesn’t mean “the performer, the verbal soloist, such as among my acquaintances Oscar Wilde, Montesquiou and d’Annunzio were.” (I suppose that this Montesquiou is the same one Proust knew, the one who provided the model for M. de Charlus.
		Berenson says we shouldn’t try to reduce this energy “but I would turn it into unproductive channels, the channels of play, of song, of dance, of sport in various phases, always with reference to what it did to educate the mind, build up the body and humanize the individual and his group.

	Mary Ann Calo: Bernard Berenson and the Twentieth Century - Print
		While Bernard Berenson's roles a connoisseur, Renaissance art expert, defender of Western culture, and arbiter of taste extraordinaire are well known, his role as critic and theorist of modern art has until now been little understood.
		Tracing his writings over half a century, she examines his transition from an innovative modern critic to a reactionary conservative who used his influence to discredit twentieth-century art and to preserve the notion of culture as aristocratic privilege.
		Her focus on the development of Berenson's aesthetic principles and intellectual life demonstrates that his theory of art anticipated, and perhaps made possible the modernist art he loathed.

		The action is set in 1937, at I Tatti, the beautiful villa outside Florence owned by the celebrated art historian Bernard Berenson, living in a ménage á trios with his ailing wife Mary and his devoted secretary Nicky.
		Berenson is beginning to feel the financial pinch of owning such a splendid home, and regards the rise to power of Mussolini, whom he calls the Duck, with fear and loathing.
		The problem is that Berenson insists that it is by Titian, while Duveen is desperate for him to authenticate it as a rare Giorgione, which will vastly increase its price.

		Berenson, however, is on record as declaring it to be a painting by Titian, and he refuses to alter his opinion.
		It would be a bucolic setting were it not for the fact that Berenson is a Lithuanian Jew and the pre-World War II rise of Italian fascism is an ever-darkening cloud.
		The growing threat of terror underpins the duel between Berenson and Duveen that might otherwise be merely fiscal and, in that carefree way of the wealthy, almost trivial.

		In his day, the library was one with the house; but the life of the house--known to many--overshadowed the intense life of the library, which was the sanctuary, to use Connolly's words, of its master and his disciples and a few of the house's many visitors.

		Although there is no reason to doubt that the painting is meant to be a portrait of Columbus, Bernard Berenson, Lotto's biographer, asserts that the artist was probably working from a description given to him by an artist for the Vatican who had seen the Admiral.
