Hi!

20211008_144216.jpg

I am an art historian specializing in the arts and material cultures of 18th- and 19th-century Japan, with a focus on prints, illustrated books, and paintings. Within these topics, I explore issues relating to the interaction between governing bodies and artists, artistic and commercial collaboration, pictorial quotation, and exhibition culture. Currently, I work at the Institute for the Study of Civilisations, Arts and Lettres of UCLouvain, where I conduct a research project on the 1920s Japanese book collection (3,100 Japanese titles from the 12th century to the 1920s, comprising almost 14,000 volumes), that is part of the Heritage Collection of the UCLouvain Libraries.​
