ResearchMy research interests focus on Italian Renaissance patronage: who commissioned art and why? My publications began with studies on private patronage for ecclesiastical projects, particularly the mendicants of the Dominican Order during the fifteenth century in Rome and Florence. Subsequently, my interests have grown to include issues of racial representation during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries throughout the peninsula. My teaching reflects this commitment to all media so that I have organized intermediate level courses around particular centuries and across both the "major" arts of architecture, sculpture and painting as well as the so-called minor arts of graphics, ceramics, tapestries, etc. My advanced courses now include both a course on alternative interpretations of the Italian Renaissance with attention to race and gender and a course on material culture/decorative arts. Seminars range over a variety of topics depending upon my shifting interests.
