The McMullen Student Ambassadors are pleased to present Art in Focus, featuring an informal discussion between Boston College professors from various academic departments. With each new episode, we aim to uncover a unique perspective on the works on display, informed by research and methodologies in areas of study across the University. Each conversation will bring the exhibition’s works “into focus” to highlight art’s expansive reach and interdisciplinary nature.

For this episode, we invited Professors Sara Ross and Stephanie Leone of Boston College to discuss the exhibition “Medieval | Renaissance: A Dialogue on Early Italian Painting.” Prof. Ross is a history professor whose work focuses on Renaissance Europe, especially Italy, and Prof. Leone is a Renaissance art historian, and a co-curator of the exhibit.
