Area of Practice:
Italian Renaissance Art and Architecture

Jessica Maier, Visiting Assistant Professor in Italian Renaissance Art, received her Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia University in 2006. Her scholarly interests include the representation of cities and of the built environment, print culture, and cartography in Early Modern Italy. In her research she focuses on the role of Rome in Renaissance visual culture as a lens onto viewing practices, aesthetic tastes, and approaches to antiquity in the sixteenth century. She has received fellowships including a Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome, and research support from Columbia University, the Newberry Library, and other organizations. Before arriving at Tulane, Jessica taught courses in the U.S. and in Italy for Columbia University, Pace University, and Dartmouth College. Her publications include a recent article on Leonardo Bufalini’s plan of Rome (1551) that appeared in the journal Imago Mundi. She is currently at work on a book tentatively titled “Imago Romae: Renaissance Visions of the Eternal City.”
