Paul G. (Paul George) Konody

Born in Budapest on 30 July 1872, he was educated in Vienna before moving to London in 1889. He later became a British citizen and went on to build a career as a London-based art critic, historian, and journalist.

He wrote for several London newspapers and produced many books and articles on artists, collections, and especially Renaissance art. He was known as a specialist in old masters and was respected for weighing questions of attribution and authenticity.

Konody died on 30 November 1933. His work survives through a long shelf of art books, including studies of painters such as Raphael, Delacroix, and Filippo Lippi, as well as reference works on Florentine painters.
