Constance Jocelyn Ffoulkes
Constance Jocelyn Ffoulkes (1858–1950) was a British art historian and an Italian scholar.[1] She participated in the adoption of the 'historical standpoint' method of research, a shift in art criticism that emerged in the early twentieth century. She was influenced by Giovanni Morelli and his methods of connoisseurship, assembling subtle clues and recognition of personal technique, the artist's 'hand', to determine a work's provenance and creators. Ffoulkes' own techniques involved the investigation of historical documentation, which came to be used by many modern art historians in support of their conclusions.[2]
Ffoulkes' works include contributions to the Encyclopedia Britannica, instruction on scientific methodologies for analysis of artworks, the first major study of Vincenzo Foppa (c. 1427–1515), and contributions to the journals Repertorium für Kunstwissenschaft and Rassegna d’arte.[2]
