The Grain Merchant at work

Research

My current book project is based on my dissertation, The Art of Judgment and the Judgment of Art: From the Mercantile Evaluation of Goods to the Connoisseurship of Art, 1300-1800.

Other ongoing research projects:

  • Drawing and cognition in the Renaissance workshop
  • 2D/3D – drawing on paper, drawing in space, and the relationship between drawing, thinking, and the making of three-dimensional objects (sculpture, jewelry, etc.)
  • Women merchants in medieval and renaissance Italy
  • Intersections between medieval and early Renaissance mathematical and mercantile cultures
