An art historian, scholar, or artist who specializes in or focuses on works from the Italian 13th century (the Duecento period).
From Italian 'duecento' (literally 'two hundred,' referring to the 1200s) plus the English suffix '-ist' (from Greek '-istes'), indicating a specialist or practitioner. The term is used primarily in art historical scholarship.
The Duecento saw Giotto revolutionize painting with realistic perspective and emotion, fundamentally changing Western art. Scholars who study this period are literally studying the moment when medieval art transformed into Renaissance thinking—it's like watching the birth of modern visual culture happen in one century!
