Sapiens Verbum is an independent art history project: essays on www.sapiensverbum.com, videos on YouTube, daily art news, photography, reading recommendations and a print shop. If you have a question, a correction or an idea, we would like to hear from you.

What to write to us about

  • Corrections. If you spot a factual error in an essay or a news story, tell us which page and what is wrong, ideally with a source. We check every report and correct the page. For our news site, see Sources and Corrections.
  • Questions about a painting. Ask about any work we have written about, or suggest one you would like us to explain in an essay or a video.
  • Prints and orders. Prints in the Sapiens Verbum print shop are produced and shipped by our print partner, Fine Art America. For questions about an order, shipping or returns, please use the print shop contact form so your message reaches the team that handles it.
  • Photography licensing and collaborations. For licensing of our own photographs, museum or publisher collaborations, and press, write to the email above.
