Founded in 1913, the Bibliotheca Hertziana-Max Planck Institute for Art History comprises of the departments “Cities and Spaces in Premodernity” led by Prof. Dr. Tanja Michalsky and “Art of the Modern Age in a Global Context” led by Prof. Dr. Tristan Weddigen, alongside Drs. Sietske Fransen and Francesca Borgo’s research groups “Visualizing Science in Media Revolutions” and “Decay, Loss, and Conservation in Art History”, respectively. Each department and research group hosts an international group of pre- and postdoctoral fellows undertaking research that spans a vast array of methodologies, chronologies, and geographies to tackle issues at the cutting edge of the field.

The New Fellows’ Presentations provide fellows who have recently joined the Institute the opportunity to briefly introduce their research project to the Roman art historical community with the hopes of fostering vibrant intellectual exchange.
