Written with the collaboration of Jayne Newcomer Samuels, Ernest Samuels presents the full arc of Berenson's transformation from a Lithuanian-born Jewish immigrant into the pre-eminent authority on Italian Renaissance painting, whose attributions shaped the collections of the world's greatest museums and private collectors. The book uncovers the complex web of ambition, intellect, and moral compromise that defined Berenson's long career, including his lucrative and often secretive dealings with the legendary art dealer Joseph Duveen. Authoritative and compellingly written, it illustrates how Berenson's personal mythology was as carefully constructed as any Renaissance masterpiece, making it an essential read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of art, money, and reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888030429403,"sku":"2026200007051-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4dabfbc3-78dc-49c7-a338-0ab62d38b742.png?v=1781753348","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007051-secondhand-bernard-berenson-the-making-of-a-legend","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
