This prestigious German fellowship is meant to enable scholars of all fields to work on specific projects in cooperation with academic hosts at research institutions in Germany. He will spend his research period in Heidelberg, where Prof. T. Hölscher will serve as his host. Professor de Angelis's research project, on style and identity in Roman imperial art, will be the foundation of his second book.
In July 2008, Professor Cordula Grewe was awarded a 13-month Humboldt Research Fellowship for her work on the religious aesthetics of German Romanticism, and is currently conducting research in Germany.
She is being hosted by Professors Frank Büttner and Hubertus Kohle at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. Further, she has been named a founding board member of the Internationales Zentrum für Klassikforschung that will be established in Weimar, a city famously associated with Goethe and Schiller.
When the National Research Council, in its most recent report,
rated Columbia first in the nation for art history scholarship,
it again recognized a legacy of leadership dating back more
than seven decades. Meyer Schapiro earned Columbia's first Ph.D.
in the field in 1929 with a dissertation that was to revolutionize
the study of Romanesque art. In the years since, scholars here
have shaped nearly every area of study in the field: pre-Columbian
to postmodern, style analysis to critical theory.
The department was founded in conjunction with the special resources
in archaeology and architecture at the Avery Memorial Library
as inspired by great European traditions of archaeology, connoisseurship,
and iconology. Well before recent advances, Columbia art historians
transcended the geographical and cultural boundaries of the
West. Since Paul Wingert expanded the Department's curriculum
in the 1930s, coursework in the study of the arts of Africa,
Oceania, Native America, the Near East, East Asia is a staple
of the Columbia University curriculum, and like Columbia's great
teachers of the past—Meyer Schapiro, Rudolf Wittkower,
Rober Branner, Howard McP. Davis, Julius Held, Howard Hibbard,
Edith Porada, and William Bell Dinsmoor—today's faculty
continue to apply art historical methods to illuminate particular
works of art, even as they place their works in the broadest
cultural context.
