Art historians appear to be embracing Twitter with all of the unenthusiastic hesitation and hand-wringing with which they greeted the once-novel technology of blogging. Nonetheless, a few have taken the plunge. Tweeting art historians include modernist August Jordan Davis, photography historian William Allen, Roman art scholar Francesca Tronchin, art/garden historian S.E. Gordon-Salway, and Renaissance specialist Alexandra Melissa Korey. Be warned that not all tweets will be art-history-related; some art historians choose to tweet about most everything except their day jobs. A broader list of Twitter users interested in art history can be found here.

Hey there! thanks for posting about my tweeting. My tweets on @arttrav can be sometimes off-topic (more italian lifestyle than art these days) because I am now employed to tweet and write about Italian art from @TuscanyArt (which is related to the official blog for the arts in Tuscany, TuscanyArts – see link on my name).
Interesting to read. Thanks for the mention.
Thanks. Remember that museums and galleries tweet. Search for either will bring up many.
