Philip Muijtjens

My doctoral research will focus on the influence of changes in the Quattrocento rhetorical appraisal of the individual on stylistic and iconographic choices for contemporary burial chapels and tombs in Florence and Rome. I previously read History of Art (2014-2017) and Classics (2017-2019) at Leiden University, during which I was involved in various projects focusing on image and text. I continued my studies at King's College, Cambridge with an MPhil in History of Art & Architecture (2020) funded by a Master's Award from the School of Arts & Humanities, University of Cambridge. My research interests include: theory on art and rhetoric, the history of collecting, intellectual history, theology, ecclesiastical history, neo-Platonism, neo-Latin and Byzantine Greek thought and their creative output and codicology.
