Alumna Rachel Carlisle (PhD ’22) has published a book, Picturing German Antiquity in the Age of Print: Art, Archaeology, and the Style All’antica in Early Modern Augsburg, with Amsterdam University Press. The book examines the central role of print to local antiquarian pursuits and generation of a style all’antica in early sixteenth-century Augsburg, Germany. It expands on her dissertation research completed at Florida State University under the direction of Stephanie Leitch.
Dr. Carlisle’s research for the manuscript was supported by a Lindsay Young Visiting Regional Faculty Fellowship at the Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Fulbright Research Award; and Rolf und Ursula Schneider-Stiftung Doctoral Fellowship at the Herzog August Bibliothek. Subventions awarded by the Renaissance Society of America and New Foundation of Art History funded the publication.
Rachel is Lecturer in Art History at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. She teaches ancient-medieval survey courses and upper-level seminars on early modern print, medieval and early modern representations of the apocalypse, Baroque art and architecture, and the history of collections.
