Beatrice Blümer

Beatrice Blümer studied history and the history of art in Kassel, Hamburg, and Rome. She received her master’s degree in 2021 and is currently completing her Ph.D. at the University of Kassel. Her dissertation project, ‘The Liber insularum Archipelagi by Cristoforo Buondelmonti’, explores the copying tradition of this Renaissance isolario by analysing its textual and pictorial descriptions of the Aegean islands. Her research interests lie in Renaissance and Mediterranean art with a focus on Florence, Venice, Constantinople, and the wider Aegean archipelago. She specializes in manuscript studies and the correlation between visual and textual culture. Her research has been supported by the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz—Max-Planck-Institut, the German Historical Institute in Rome, the German Historical Institute in London, the Centro Tedesco di Studi Veneziani in Venice, and the German Historical Institute in Paris.
