Pietro Toesca

Giovanni Pietro Toesca (12 July 1877 - 9 March 1962) was an Italian academic and art historian, notable as one of the most important historians of medieval to 20th century art. His ''La pittura e la miniatura nella Lombardia fino alla metà del Quattrocento'' was the first attempt to reconstruct the course of figurative Lombard art from the Middle Ages onwards, defining its importance across Europe.
