Aneta Georgievska-Shine, PhD, Art History, specializes in early modern art, but has also taught courses in museum studies, theories and methods of research, and other topics of interdisciplinary nature. Her books have focused on artistic dialogues and cultural exchanges in the early modern period. They include Rubens and the Archaeology of Myth: Visual and Poetic Memory, 2009, and Rubens, Velázquez and the King of Spain, 2014, co-authored with Larry Silver (University of Pennsylvania). The latest one, Vermeer and the Art of Love (2022), explores this theme both as it informs the artist’s work on a personal level and as an expression of his ways of seeing and painting in general. In addition to teaching for the Department of Art History, she has taught both for the University Honors and the Honors Humanities programs. Recent courses include Art and War, Cultural Exchanges in the Age of Exploration, and Early Modern Art and Medicine.
