Lorne Campbell (art historian)

Campbell was born in Stirling in 1946. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Edinburgh and Ph.D from University of London in 1973. Between 1970 and 1971 he taught at the University of Manchester and later at the University of Cambridge. In 2016, KU Leuven awarded him an honorary doctorate of the Faculty of Arts. He is the author of a number of books on fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth-century art, and a leading expert on Early Netherlandish painting, and his contributions to research and knowledge on the period are on a par with the works of Max Jakob Friedländer and Erwin Panofsky. His 1998 catalogue The Fifteenth Century Netherlandish Schools has been described as "standard-setting". He has published articles with the journals The Burlington Magazine and The Connoisseur, amongst others. He lives in London and in 2014 published his book, The Sixteenth Century Netherlandish Paintings with French Paintings before 1600, a catalogue analysing 85 works in the collection of the National Gallery, London. On 20 October 2016 Campbell was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of the Faculty of Arts by the University of Leuven in recognition of his work on fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Netherlandish art. ==Selected publications==
