Research Project

Sacral Presence and Artistic Practice.
The Paintings of Domenico Veneziano in Quattrocento Florence

The dissertation project analyzes the work of Florentine painter Domenico Veneziano with regard to the figures and functions of religious images in fifteenth century Florence. Focusing on the historical materiality of Domenico’s panels and murals the study examines the production of sacral presence in relation to strategies of pictorial evidence (e.g. technique, light, spatial disposition). Central to those questions is the problem of aesthetic experience, the interrelation of artwork and beholder in terms of a history of perception. The study thus aims at an exploration of the painters role in the dissemination of artistic knowledge in the Quattrocento.
