Noël Oakeshott
Noël Oakeshott, née Moon (1904–1976) was a British classical archaeologist.
Life
She was a student of John D. Beazley and applied his method of separation of individual painters to sub-Italian vase painting. It was an application of connoisseurship, and some attributions have been reconsidered since.[1]
Works and influence
Her essay Some Early South Italian Vase-Painters. With a brief indication of the later history of Italiote vase-painting from 1929 remains a basic work in the field. The pioneering work of Beazley and Moon was followed up by Arthur Dale Trendall.[2]
Family
She was the sister of Edward Penderel Moon, and married educational administrator and art historian Walter Oakeshott in 1928. Beazley named the so-called Oakeshott painter after the couple.
