He worked for some years with the art expert Bernard Berenson, and was his bibliographer, and later for the auctioneers Christie's.[1] Early lifeWilliam Mostyn-Owen was born on 10 May 1929 into a military family, the son of Lt-Col Roger Arthur Mostyn-Owen (1888–1947) and Margaret Eva Dewhurst. He had three older brothers and a sister. His brothers all died during the Second World War, and his father died while William was in his teens, so that he inherited the family seat of Woodhouse, Shropshire, and Aberuchill Castle, Perthshire, at a young age. He was educated at Eton and Magdalene College, Cambridge.[1] CareerAfter graduation, Mostyn-Owen worked for the Fogg Museum at Harvard and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. In the 1950s, he spent six years working closely with Bernard Berenson, the art expert, at his Villa I Tatti near Florence, and acquired a deep understanding of the art of the Italian Renaissance.[1] In Florence, the British consul noted that Mostyn-Owen was "worth a battleship" for his charm and tact when dealing with American President Harry Truman, the King of Norway and other visiting notables.[1] He joined the auction house Christie's in London, alongside David Carritt, Noel Annesley, and Brian Sewell, and worked there for almost thirty years. He became a director in 1968, and chairman of Christie's Education from 1979 to 1988.[1] Personal lifeMostyn-Owen's first wife from c. 1961 to 1989 was the Italian writer Gaia Servadio, with whom he had three children, Owen (b. 1962), Allegra (b. 1964) and Orlando (b. 1973).[1][2] In 1968, they were living in a single wing of Aberuchill Castle which consisted of "23 rooms or so".[3] His second wife was Faith Clark, and his third was Jane Martineau, also an art historian, whom he married in 1992.[1] His daughter Allegra, an art teacher, was the first wife of the politician Boris Johnson.[4] His son Orlando is an artist and a painter.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news|author=Humphrey Burton |url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2011/jul/20/william-mostyn-owen-obituary |title=William Mostyn-Owen obituary | Education |newspaper=The Guardian |date= |accessdate=24 September 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mostyn-Owen, William}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://royaldrawingschool.org/artists/faculty/orlando-mostyn-owen/|title=Orlando Mostyn Owen {{!}} The Royal Drawing School|website=The Royal Drawing School|access-date=2018-06-04}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Time Inc|title=LIFE|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3lQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA83|accessdate=21 September 2016|date=7 June 1968|publisher=Time Inc|pages=83–84|issn=0024-3019}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=Rachel Helyer-Donaldson |url=http://www.theweek.co.uk/entertainment/17457/boris-johnson%E2%80%99s-first-wife-marries-again |title=Boris Johnson’s first wife marries again|website=Theweek.co.uk |date=8 January 2010 |accessdate=24 September 2016}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://royaldrawingschool.org/artists/faculty/orlando-mostyn-owen/|title=Orlando Mostyn Owen {{!}} The Royal Drawing School|website=The Royal Drawing School|access-date=2018-06-04}} 7 : 1929 births|2011 deaths|People from Shropshire|People from Perthshire|People educated at Eton College|Alumni of Magdalene College, Cambridge|British art historians |
