Footnote: Sir John Wyndham Pope-Hennessy was a British art historian, known for his directorship of the Victoria and Albert Museum (1967-1973) and the British Museum (1974-1976). His writings, including the tripartite Introduction to Italian Sculpture, and his magnum opus, Donatello: Sculptor, are regarded as classics in the field. Following the death of his brother, he left the British Museum and moved to New York, where he took up the post as head of the department of European painting. This was combined with a professorship at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1974 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1978. He moved to Florence at the age of 75, and died there five years later.
