September–December 2016

Stephanie Porras is Assistant Professor of Art History in the Newcomb Art Department at Tulane University in New Orleans. Her research focuses on Northern European art of the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, as well as the global circulation of early modern prints. She is the author of Pieter Bruegel’s Historical Imagination (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2016) and co-editor of The Young Dürer: Drawing the Figure (exhibition catalogue, Courtauld institute of Art, London, 2013). At the Clark, she will write on an understudied yet ubiquitous early modern artist — Maerten de Vos — considering how the impact of the artist's travels, the wars of religion and the dawn of globalization impacted the formation of artistic and cultural identity in the later Renaissance.
