Douglas Lewis (born Charles Douglas Lewis; April 30, 1938) is an American art historian and architectural historian. His specialties include the architecture of Andrea Palladio, Renaissance plaquettes, and European sculpture. From 1968 to 2004 he was curator of sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Early life

Born at Beech Grove, a Landmark property in southwestern Mississippi held in his family since 1803, Lewis spent his early years between Washington, D.C. and Nevada, as the Second World War took his father, a Naval ordnance officer, far from home. Not yet three years old, he visited the National Gallery on its opening day with his mother, Beatrice Fenwick (Stewart) Lewis. After the war, the family returned to Mississippi, where Lewis spent his middle school years, transferring to The Lawrenceville School near Princeton for high school.
