Meet the experts:

Dr. Cordula Grewe specializes in modern European art, with an emphasis on visual piety, word-image relationships, aesthetics, and art as politics. Her books include Painting the Sacred in the Age of Romanticism (2009), The Nazarenes: Romantic Avant-garde and the Art of the Concept (2015), Wilhelm Schadow (1788-1862): Werkverzeichnis der Gemälde (2017), and The Arabesque from Kant to Comics (2021) as well as essay collections on museums of mankind (Die Schau des Fremden, 2006) and print culture (The Enchanted World of German Romantic Prints, with John Ittmann, 2017). Her current research projects now push into the 20th- and 21st- century, ranging from modern theo-aesthetics (Ingres/Michael Triegel & Alexandre Falguière/Kehinde Wiley) and the body as medium (Emma Hamilton to Nicki Minaj) to Art in the Third Reich and Nazisploitation. She has also embarked on a ‘non-fictional novel,’ part historical reckoning, part family history, provisionally titled Mink in Flames: A Memoir of Immigration, Intergenerational Trauma, and the American Dream.

Stephanie O’Rourke is a historian of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European art, particularly in relation to resource extraction, scientific knowledge, and media technologies. She is a Senior Lecturer in art history at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Stephanie is the author of two books: Picturing Landscape in an Age of Extraction (University of Chicago Press, 2025) and the prize-winning Art, Science, and the Body in Early Romanticism (Cambridge University Press, 2021). She is currently a Mid-Career Fellow at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and she was previously a professeur invité at the Sorbonne and a Research Consortium Fellow at The Museum of Modern Art. She holds a BA from Harvard University and a PhD from Columbia University.
