I am an art historian with a focus on medieval and early modern painting and digital art history.

Currently, as part of the project “How Material Came into the Picture: Exploring Cultural Innovations Interdisciplinarily with AI and DH methods (KIKI)” I am exploring how surface textures of materials were rendered in painting and what functions the material imitations could take on in the communication between artworks and viewers. I am also fascinated by wall paintings decorating sacred spaces, looking at the interrelations between the images, the built space and the viewers’ physical movement.

An ongoing activity is my collaboration on the database REALonline which documents material culture represented in images from the Middle Ages and early modern period using a graph model.
