The Journey of Photograph and the Stories I Will Tell - A Case Study from the Archive of Bardini & Co.

Lynn Catterson, originally trained in the sciences, received her Ph.D. in Art History at Columbia University in 2002. Her research stems from an interest in Italian Renaissance sculpture with a focus on the marketplace and how 15C sculptors satisfied consumer demand for antiquities.  Lately, she is working on the art market in 19C Florence from the point of view of production and social network via its preeminent dealer, Stefano Bardini.  This project draws mainly upon material in the state archive of Bardini and since 2013 it has yielded many publications on various aspects of the phenomenon of Bardini & Co.
