Biography
Ian F. Verstegen is an independent scholar living in Philadelphia. Trained in art history, he is an authority on early modern Italian art, especially the painter Federico Barocci, and his interests and publications extend to psychology, aesthetics, and philosophy.
"Verstegen’s book has for me changed a rather obscure, pedantic character into an interesting philosopher of history, with human faults and foibles, caused and conditioned by the past, struggling against the oppressive thought systems of his time." – Journal of Critical Realism
