Thesis title:
My collaborative doctoral study is with the University of Warwick and the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG). I will focus on the Renaissance and Baroque decorative art collection, which was acquired by the BMAG in the late nineteenth century. The aim of my research will be to unearth information concerning the collection’s provenance, to study the selection rationale behind the acquisition of this collection and to understand the role played by the collection in public education and artistic training when it was first exhibited.
Research topics: Renaissance and Baroque decorative art; Museum formation; Collecting History; Provenance research.
