Harleen Kaur Bagga

A fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Art and Art History, Harleen’s research focuses on the art and architecture of early modern Europe. Of particular interest are representations of war and violence, military architecture, cartography, landscape, and pilgrimage sites. She has previously written on the wounded nature of landscapes in Paolo Uccello’s Battle of San Romano, sixteenth-century Venetian battle-maps that represented war in a cartographic fashion, the many beheadings in Caravaggio’s paintings, and ideas of race and time in the Catalan Atlas. Situated within a cross-cultural framework, her work also turns towards historiographical concerns in the broader discipline of art history.
