Description
I hold BA and MA in art history with specialization in 19thcentury Christian and Jewish art (Warsaw), MA in Jewish-Christian Relations (Cambridge), and BA and MA in Hebrew studies (Warsaw). In my research I am particularly interested in the comparative iconography of the Biblical themes taken up by Jewish and Christian artists in the art of 19th and early 20th centuries.
Recently I have been working on a project entitled “Pietà in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Jewish and Christian art: A Comparative Study” as part of the post-doctoral internship “Fuga” granted by the National Science Centre of Poland.
