Homan Potterton, who has died of cancer aged 74, was an original and productive art historian, a notably innovative director of the National Gallery of Ireland, and the author of graceful and feline memoirs and fictionIn late 1973 he was appointed an assistant keeper at the National Gallery in London, under Michael Levey’s directorship, and remained there till 1980 – the happiest time of his professional life.

His achievements while there included curating a tremendous exhibition of 17th-century Venetian painting, with an important accompanying book (1979), and writing a best-selling guide to the gallery (1977), full of characteristic asides (“Wearing a dress like that, what else does she expect from a centaur?”).
