Academic interests

I am a Swedish art historian with an interest in religious art, architecture, and spaces in the Late Medieval Period and Early Renaissance, in particular on the Italian peninsula. My PhD project revolves around the ritual burnings of purportedly immoral artworks and craft objects in fifteenth-century Italy, in connection with Franciscan and Dominican art ideals and practices.

During the academic year 2025-2026, I am conducting my research at the Norwegian Institute in Rome.

Background

MA in Art History from Stockholm University (2022) with the thesis La Gerusalemme di San Vivaldo – Visualiseringar av Jerusalem i en vallfartsort i det tidiga 1500-talets Toscana.

Positions held

  • Editorial member of The Journal of Art History/Konsthistorisk tidskrift and treasurer of The Society of Art Historians (2021–).
  • Administrative Director of studies in Art History at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics at Stockholm University (2022-23).
