Research:
I’m a historian of early modern Netherlandish art with a focus on the social history of drawing and painting techniques. In 2020 I graduated from University of Groningen’s research master in Arts & Cultural Studies (Art History track). My research previously centered on the drawing albums from 1696 of Hendrick van Beaumont (1687-1707), a previously unknown draughtsman (publication TBA). I am currently working as a PhD Candidate at Utrecht University within the ERC-funded project DURARE (Dynamics of the Durable: A History of Making Things Last in the Visual and Decorative Arts).

Dissertation: "'t is al maer water-verwe", Durability and watercolor, 1585-1750.
My dissertation within DURARE examines durability of watercolor in the long seventeenth century from a cultural and material perspective. My project is largely based on a corpus of art-technical written sources in print and manuscript, as well as object-based research. I use a blended method of art historical and hands-on historical reconstruction exercises.
