Vita
Elisa Spataro studied at Sapienza University of Rome, where she received her PhD in Art History in 2019. She specializes in early modern visual culture, art theory and practice, with a focus on landscape painting and drawing. Her recent research has explored the intersection between art, science and technology from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. She wrote a doctoral dissertation about the relationship between landscape painting and theatrical stage design from the late-sixteenth century to the first decades of the seventeenth century. It was awarded a publication prize, and her book, Pittura di paesaggio e scenografia teatrale. Teoria e pratica artistica (1580–1640), was published with De Luca Editori d’Arte (Rome, 2021). Her research has been funded by the Fondazione 1563 per l’Arte e la Cultura of Turin, Italy (2019–2020), and Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies (2021–2022).
