Michael Levey, RIP
Michael Levey was a former director of the National Gallery in London, a great art historian, and one of the very few scholars on art who could write about it beautifully. There are too few like him out there.

I stand by my comments. I expect you to do likewise.
"Rococco and Revolution," and both of his volumes on the Renaissance remain among my favorite books.
