The Department of History of Art has expertise in and therefore welcomes candidates in all periods from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Early Modern eras, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as in Modern and Contemporary art. We also encourage research on historiography and methodology.
