Fondo F1156 - Brian D'Argaville fonds

Professor Brian D'Argaville, art historian, was first trained for the priesthood in the Carthusian Order. He took degrees in philosophy and theology at the Angelicum University in Rome and afterwards his M.A. in Medieval History at the University of Toronto in 1963. He taught at the Department of Art, Queen's University, for sixteen years and in 1968-69 was awarded a Canada Council Research Fellowship to commence a catalogue-monograph on Mattia Preti, an undertaking which was still occupying him at the time of his death and which remains unpublished.
