I decided to start this blog as a way of continuing to explore the vast, visual record of human experiences. I love reading and learning about anything art/history/art history related and sharing it with anyone who is interested.
My name is Amanda, I have a BA in Humanities with a focus in Art History, an MA focusing in Museums and Material Cultures, and a second MA in Art History. I have also completed a few years of doctoral work. My main focus is Italian (Venetian) Renaissance art, with secondary specializations in museums & material cultures, and 19th & 20th century European art. But here I will be exploring all of art history: artists, patrons, paintings as art objects, the context in which art was created, what it means if something was created in one medium versus another, how viewers have responded to art throughout time, and so much more.
