Medieval and Renaissance Art History

Statement: My project focuses on the long fifteenth century, a pivotal moment in the formation of media distinctions in the visual arts and in the privileging of painting as practice and autonomous object. I aim to chart the complexity and contested nature of the terrain from which these categories emerged and to recover alternate trajectories to the account upon which they are anchored.
