Subject: Funerary Monuments and Chapels in 14th-16th Century Kingdom of Naples: Practice and Experience
Supervisor: Dr. Lola Kantor-Kazovsky
Abstract: The research is centered around chapels built in Southern Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, where inventive interactions between architecture, sculpture and objects are present.
These arrangements demand the viewer to walk around or under sculptures.
By examining them I wish to focus on the space as a whole, and the way that different media and objects were used together to evoke an emotional and mental response.
Bio: I graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Art History, and a M.A. in Art History as part of the Honors students program of the Mandel School.
I am interested in the materiality of works of art, cultural exchange and the emotional experience engendered in different spaces.
Additionally, I am a book and paper conservator at the National Library of Israel.
