Fully Funded Fellowships for Researches on the Italian Renaissance in Italy

The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies is offering the David and Julie Tobey Fellowship that supports research on drawings, prints, and illustrated manuscripts from the Italian Renaissance, and especially the role that these works played in the creative process, the history of taste and collecting, and questions of connoisseurship. Proposals on a variety of subjects with a substantive component of research on drawings, prints, and illustrated manuscripts done on paper or parchment types are welcome.

Eligibility criteria:

1. Applicants must be conversant in English and have familiarity with Italian.
2. At the time of application, a PhD is required.
3. Priority will be given to early and mid-career scholars.
4. Projects should represent advanced research in the Italian Renaissance, broadly defined as the historical period ranging from the 14^th to the 17^th century, and deal with drawings, prints, or illustrated manuscripts, and the role that these works may have played in the creative process, the history of taste and collecting, or questions of connoisseurship.
5. Applicants should indicate their preference between fall (September through December) and winter-spring (January through June).
