Monsignor Timothy Verdon, one of the world's most respected art historians, is the Academic Director of the Mount Tabor Centre in Barga, Italy. He earned his PhD at Yale University and for most of the last 50 years has lived in Florence, Italy, where he directs the Diocesan Office of Sacred Art and Church Cultural Heritage, the Cathedral Foundation Museum (Museo dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore), and the Centre for Ecumenism of the Archdiocese of Florence.
Our focus at Image is on contemporary art, but we’re also traditionalists. So I love that Paraclete Press is in cahoots with the great art historian, Monsignor Timothy Verdon, on books, tours, and beyond. His latest is The Story of St. Francis of Assisi, a lucid explication of the fresco cycle in the basilica there (Giotto et al.). —Gregory Wolfe, Image Journal
