I’m an art historian with a passion for Renaissance art, iconography, and the ways we interpret visual culture today. In my writing, I aim to combine solid historical research with accessible language, making art history engaging for both newcomers and seasoned readers. Whether I’m exploring medieval symbolism, writing about modern reinterpretations of classical themes, or creating interactive quizzes, I enjoy connecting the past with the present through storytelling and curiosity.
