Dr. Pritchard’s research focuses on sculpture and painting from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in Italy, with special attention to the life and careers of Giambologna and Caravaggio. Her interests focus on the effects of the Counter-Reformation on artistic production and patronage, the paragone debate that emerged in the sixteenth century, and Caravaggio’s painting practices, including his use of prints. Current research centers around Caravaggio’s representation of age and illness, as well as his self-portraits, and the international reach and influence of Giambologna in the aristocratic courts of Europe.
