Felipe Pereda

Felipe Pereda joined the Harvard faculty from Johns Hopkins University, where he was Professor of Art History. A scholar of late medieval and early modern Iberian art, art and image theory, and architecture, he is the author of La arquitectura elocuente (2000), Images of Discord: Poetics and Politics of the Sacred Image in Fifteenth-Century Spain (Brill, 2016), and Crime and Illusion: The Art of Truth in the Spanish Golden Age (Brepols-Harvey Miller, 2018). His newest book, Torrigiano. The Man who Broke Michelangelo's Nose, is the first biography ever written on the artist, offering a model for the study of the relationship between local artistic traditions and artistic mobility in the Renaissance.
