Gloria de Liberali (she/her/hers)

I specialize in the visual arts and culture of early-modern Europe. My doctoral dissertation examines the pictorial decoration of the Bentivoglio Chapel in fifteenth-century Bologna, and my research interests include iconography and the afterlife of classical and medieval imagery in the arts of later periods; the role of mythological and poetic subject matters in the Renaissance; strategies of self-fashioning of artists and patrons; devotional and miraculous images; and artistic practices and theories in 16th- and 17th-century Italy.
