Subject Area:
A major portion of Dr. Jones’s research focuses on the fifteenth-century courts of northern Italy, innovations in personal commemoration, and objects demonstrating intersections between the courts of Italy, France, and Byzantium. She has published extensively on the cast bronze portrait medals produced in the early courts and her current book-length project, Pisanello’s Medals: Dynasty, Destiny, and Crusade, addresses the emergence of the cast bronze portrait medal in the 1430s and the political, religious, and ideological value the small-scale sculpted form conveyed.
