Uncovering Spanish-speaking art-historians

Sophia Cetina, Duke Student

Summer 2020 Remote Research

This summer, I worked with the Dictionary of Art Historians at Duke to catalog, profile, and uncover various Spanish-speaking art-historians. I started by looking into and creating a profile for the art historian Rafael Doménech. I also researched Manuel Toussaint, José Gestoso y Pérez, Agustí Duran i Sanpere, and Julián Gallego. The profiles include basic facts, like where these art historians were from and when they were born, and also delve into bibliographies of their works and separate accounts that mentioned them. It was valuable practice for my research skills as well as my Spanish skills, too.
