Selwyn Brinton

Selwyn Brinton was a British writer on art who lived from 1859 to 1940. Library and catalog records identify him as Selwyn John Curwen Brinton, and show that he published widely on Renaissance painting, sculpture, printmaking, and related subjects.

His books include The Renaissance in Italian Art, issued as a multi-part series, as well as studies such as Bartolozzi and His Pupils in England, The Eighteenth Century in English Caricature, and The Gonzaga—Lords of Mantua. The range of these titles suggests a writer interested both in close studies of individual artists and in making larger periods of European art easier to understand.

Archival records also describe him as a writer on art, and surviving catalog entries point to a long publishing career in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
