Phoebe Price recently graduated with a BA in Art History from Williams College. Her Honors Thesis examined the intersection of art and alchemy at the court of Francesco I de’ Medici, focusing on the relationship between pietra dura inlays and imitation stones. After attending the Paleography Seminar this winter, she is returning to MAP to work with Gaston Basile on the connections between material culture, science, and medicine in the early modern period. Her current research investigates how Medici patronage of the study and documentation of naturalia influenced court art, particularly in the creation of wedding festivities designed to showcase natural marvels and monstrosities.
