Emily Monty

Dr. Emily Monty specializes in the art and visual culture of early modern Europe and the Spanish world with a focus on the history of print. Her research and teaching emphasize transatlantic geographies; decolonial methodologies; and material and technical art histories. Her current book project examines the representation of the Spanish world in prints published in Rome in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, analyzing print as a medium-specific space that shaped ideas about power and authority in the global Catholic world. She co-leads two collaborative projects, one focused on new methodologies in print studies and the other aimed at building a digital portal to explore the art and architectural history of an eighteenth-century Dutch library. Her research has been supported by numerous fellowships and institutions, including the Fulbright Program in Spain; the Samuel H. Kress Foundation History of Art Institutional Fellowship at the Bibliotheca Hertziana; Trinity College Dublin; the Museo Nacional del Prado with support from the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica; and I Tatti—The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies.
