Biography

Jane Costello was born on January 5, 1919, in New York City. Her work shifted towards festschrifts during her later career, though she did work on the 1975 book Nicolas Poussin: The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus, published by the National Gallery of Canada, and make plans about a book on French art (which never materialized by the time of her death).
