Monika Schmitter

Professor and Chair of History of Art and Architecture, UMass Amherst

I am a full professor of Italian Renaissance and Baroque art. I am a specialist in Renaissance art, especially from Venice, but I also teach courses in Italian Baroque art. I have published widely on Italian Renaissance art with a focus on how art was collected and displayed, especially in domestic settings. This is the emphasis of my recent book "The Art Collector in Italy Modern Italy: Andrea Odoni and his Venetian Palace" (Cambridge University Press, 2021).
