Both Art History and the History of Design. As an Art Historian, my area of specialization is the Renaissance and Baroque eras, specifically the Italian Baroque. My research is interdisciplinary and deals with transmission of narratives into images represented in works of art. In terms of the History of Design, I’m interested in the historical development of design: the social and cultural events that shaped the discipline and the development of technology throughout the history of design
