The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence, Italy and the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain, are pleased to invite applications for their joint residential fellowship for the 2025-2026 academic year to support early and mid-career scholars in the field of art history.

The fellowship is designed for early and mid-career scholars in the field of art history, with preference given to advanced research projects that address the relationship between Spain and Italy (including transnational connections and dialogues with Latin America) during the Renaissance, broadly understood historically to include the period from the 14th to the 17th century.

Funding Information

• Villa I Tatti: Fellows will receive a monthly sum of USD 5,200, plus a one-time supplement (maximum USD 1,800) towards relocation expenses.
• The Museo del Prado: Fellows will receive a monthly sum of USD 5,000. 

Eligibility Criteria

• At the time of application, scholars must have a PhD in hand and will be asked to upload a scan of the certificate. They may not be working on a second PhD at the time of application. 
• Applicants must be conversant in English and Spanish and have at least a reading knowledge of Italian, with a solid background in Italian and/or Spanish and Latin American studies.

During both terms, it must be possible for Fellows to carry out most of their research with the resources available in the city where they are resident.
