Martin Kemp (historyk sztuki)

Martin Kemp – angielski historyk sztuki, profesor Uniwersytetu w Oksfordzie. Znawca sztuki Renesansu, a przede wszystkim życia i twórczości Leonarda da Vinci. Od 1997 roku regularnie pisuje w działach Art and Science i Science and Image tygodnika Nature. Organizator słynnych wystaw, między innymi Spectacular Bodies w londyńskiej Hayward Gallery w roku 1989 oraz ca 1492 w National Gallery of Art w Waszyngtonie w roku 1992.

W 2010 wraz z Pascalem Cotte opublikował pracę, w której postawił tezę, że wykonany na pergaminie portret La Bella Principessa, dotąd uznawany za anonimową grafikę niemiecką z XIX w., jest w istocie autorstwa Leonarda da Vinci. Na podstawie dalszych badań stwierdził, że portret mógł być pierwotnie częścią egzemplarza dzieła pt. Sforziada, znajdującego się obecnie w Bibliotece Narodowej w Warszawie.
