He was an associate of the Rhymers' Club in London. He edited the magazines The Century Guild Hobby Horse and The Hobby Horse for the Century Guild of Artists. Later in life he settled in Florence, restoring a Renaissance palazzo into which he eventually moved. He first visited Italy in 1889 and kept an illustrated journal of his travels and art and architectural research. His monograph on Sandro Botticelli from 1908 is still recognised as of exceptional quality and thoroughness. Death and commemorationHe donated his collection, of arts and handicrafts of the 14th and 15th centuries, to create the Museo della Fondazione Horne in Florence, where he died. He is buried in the Cimitero Evangelico degli Allori in the southern suburb of Florence, Galluzzo (Italy). References1. ^AIM25: Warburg Institute: HORNE, Herbert Percy (1864–1916) at www.aim25.ac.uk
