Martin Kemp Books in Order (15 Books)

Martin Kemp is a British art historian and exhibition curator who is one of the world's leading authorities on the life and works of Leonardo da Vinci. He was born on March 5, 1942. Kemp has written many books on Leonardo and has also written about visualization in art and science, particularly anatomy, natural sciences, and optics. He is an emeritus research professor at Oxford University and worked for more than 25 years at the University of Glasgow and the University of St. Andrews. Kemp has been instrumental in the controversial authentication of Salvator Mundi to Leonardo and has been vocal on attributions to Leonardo, including support of La Bella Principessa and opposition of the Isleworth Mona Lisa. Kemp challenges the idea of proving authenticity using a particular criterion and is interested in how to combine judgment by eye, which is traditionally called connoisseurship, with all the other evidence we have, such as documentation and provenance.
