Michela Young received her undergraduate degree in History of Art from The Courtauld Institute of Art in 2018, and an MPhil in History of Art from the University of Cambridge in 2019. She is currently a third-year doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge researching the presence of the Vallombrosan congregation in Florence during the Quattrocento. Working with unpublished archival material, her thesis offers a microhistory of the Florentine neighbourhood surrounding the Vallombrosan churches of Santa Trinita and San Pancrazio, exploring the social and artistic relationships that characterised the area, and their impact upon the artistic and architectural fabric of the churches. Michela’s broader interests include Florentine social networks of patronage, as well as the relationships between artworks, their spatial setting, and devotional practices within the church interior.
