The Charles de Chassiron Lecture 2024
Women in the Byzantine Empire are seldom addressed in relation to art, yet manuscripts, paintings, jewels, architecture and fashion are imbued with their agency. This lecture presents an art-historical survey reinstating women into the history of the long Middle Ages across the Adriatic and the eastern Mediterranean.

He has held a number of prestigious research fellowships and has lectured at Universit脿 IUAV of Venice, the University of Birmingham, Universit脿 di Salerno, Christie鈥檚 Education London and University of Oxford. He co-edited the volume聽Late Byzantium Reconsidered聽and is currently working on a monograph on the queens at the late Palaiologan Byzantine court in Mystras. He is currently a research fellow at Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei in Milan.
