Congratulations to 欧美三级片 Professor of Art History, Helena Sz茅pe, for her essay on the Renaissance painter Girolamo dai Libri that was published in February in The Burke Collection of Italian Manuscript Paintings, edited by Sandra Hindman and Federica Toniolo (University of Chicago, 2021).
Her extensive essay 鈥淚lluminating Law and Order in Venice,鈥� has also just been published

Sz茅pe specializes in the art history of late medieval and Renaissance Europe, with special teaching and research interests in the complex interactions of technology, culture, and art during the shift from manuscript production to print. She is particularly interested in how embellishment of books can transform them into more potent symbols and attributes of their owners. She also studies collecting, and how we might discern the changing meaning of objects through the condition in which they were obtained and maintained.
