Philip asked Frederic S. Durbin:

Does the famous artist D S in A Green and Ancient Light refer to an actual person? If so, care to give any hints? ;)

Frederic S. Durbin This would need fact-checking, but I believe I read, when I was researching the actual garden at Bomarzo, that Salvador Dali rediscovered the garden in its forgotten and long-abandoned state and was influential in getting the place noticed and restored for visitors. So "D___ S___" is more or less his name backwards -- not that my character is supposed to resemble Dali in any real way.
