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.
