Chris Dobson

Biography

Chris Dobson comes from a background in the history of applied arts: he has worked in and around museums for over 30 years. Chris is unique in his various fields of study, and in fact in most of the museum world: not only does he have the 'hands-on' experience of an artist but he also carries out independent academic research and curatorial work for public and private collections.

Chris's speciality has always been the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Italy, and from the very beginning his research has incorporated the work of Italian artists and sculptors. In time it has included ever more graphic art and sculpture, and almost inevitably, the Florentine Renaissance now forms the main focus of his work. Today he writes and publishes books on the art and history of Italy, and particularly Florence.
