Charles H. Cecil Studios

The Charles H. Cecil Studios is a private atelier in Florence, Italy.

It is run by American painter and art historian Charles H. Cecil, who was trained by R. H. Ives Gammell.

Charles H. Cecil Studios occupies the most historic Florentine atelier still in active use.

Another important practice is the sight-size technique whereby subject and image are depicted to scale as seen from a given distance.

Cecil personally supervises the progress of their work and is assisted by advanced students and colleagues who return at regular intervals.
