Paduan Renaissance Bronzes at the V&A: Exploring New Critical Approaches

I am an AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) researcher with the V&A and the Courtauld Institute of Art. My research examines a selection of small-scale Bronzes at the V&A, produced in the Northern Italian city of Padua around 1500. Previously, I was a research assistant at the Central Institute for Art History (ZI) in Munich, where I worked on a publication and exhibition on prints of artworks in illustrated collection catalogues between 1487 and 1800.

My supervisors are Dr Rachel Boyd (V&A), Dr Kira d’Alburquerque (V&A), Prof. Guido Rebecchini (Courtauld), Dr Felix Jaeger (Courtauld).
