In this episode, we explore Bernard Berenson’s timeless approach to connoisseurship, a method that transformed how we identify and value art. From analyzing ears and hands to studying folds in drapery, Berenson taught us to see the “fingerprint” of an artist in the smallest details. We dive into how his techniques, rooted in careful observation and intuition, compare to modern technologies like X-rays and infrared imaging. Discover how Berenson’s philosophy of slowing down and truly seeing art offers a profound connection to creativity, history, and human expression.
