About the Project and Presenters
The History of the Accademia di San Luca, c. 1590–1635: Documents from the Archivio di Stato
di Roma makes available archival documents and other research materials concerning one of the first artists’ academies in Europe. These resources document the breadth of the Accademia’s activities, drawing from the proceedings of meetings, financial and legal
transactions, property rentals, and other records. New documents and research materials are added to the site periodically, all cross-referenced to people connected with the academy’s institutional and professional concerns and the places where they interacted.
First launched in 2010, the site was initially created using Extensible Markup Language (XML)
within the parameters of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). Since 2014 the site is driven by the National Gallery of Art's content management and site design platform to ensure its long-term sustainability and extensibility. High resolution images are managed
through the Java Script Object Notation (JSON) file format, compatible with Application Programming Interface (API) viewing applications using the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), specifically Mirador and IIPMooViewer. The site is built
on Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript Framework (jQuery).
Peter M. Lukehart is Associate Dean at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts,
National Gallery of Art (2001-present) in Washington, DC. Previously he served as Associate Professor and as Director of The Trout Gallery at Dickinson College (1992-2001) in Pennsylvania. He has also held positions as visiting assistant professor at George
Mason University (1988-1990) and assistant curator of Italian Baroque Painting at the National Gallery of Art (1990-1992). Lukehart has a longstanding interest in the education and incorporation of artists in guilds and academies during the early modern period.
His publications on this subject include contributions to the exhibition catalogue Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome (J. Paul Getty Museum, 2007) and to The Artist’s Workshop, published under his editorship in the Studies in
the History of Art series at the National Gallery of Art (1993). He also served as editor of and contributor to the Accademia Seminars (2009). Most recently, he contributed an essay “A Brief History of the Accademia di San Luca,” to Raphael and His Followers:
Masterpieces from the Accademia di San Luca, exh. cat., ed. Luigi Strinati (Beijing: Shi Dai Hua Wen, 2021). He is director of the online research database entitled “The History of the Accademia di San Luca, c. 1590-1635: Documents from the Archivio di Stato
di Roma”, a collaborative project between the National Gallery of Art, the Archivio di Stato di Roma, and the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca.
Matthew Westerby is Robert H. Smith Postdoctoral Research Associate for Digital Projects
at the Center and received his PhD in 2017 from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He organized and presented at a virtual conference which took place in October of this year, titled Frameworks & Fragments: Illuminated Manuscripts and Illustrated Books in
Digital Humanities, which explored frameworks for digital art history and posed critical questions about the provenance and conservation of fragmented books and manuscripts. He recently published an article in the Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies on digital
tools for annotating and visualizing quire structure as part of a special issue titled “Connecting the Dots: New Research Paradigms for Iberian Manuscripts as Material Objects.” Matt serves as a data steward and researcher for digital projects at the Center.
Fulvia Zaninelli is currently Postdoctoral Research Associate at The Center
for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA working on the digital research project, “The History of the Accademia di San Luca, c. 1590-1635: Documents from the Archivio di Stato di Roma”. Her research interests
have focused on the history of collecting and the art market, provenance research, and the kinship between the history of art scholarship and the art trade. She has held positions at the National Gallery of Art as well as at the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington DC. She has been the recipient of several fellowships in support of her research, such as at the Fondazione di Studi Avanzati di Storia dell’Arte Roberto Longhi in Florence, Italy, and at the Center for the History of Collecting at the Frick Collection
in New York. She authored several essays and contributed regularly to museums and exhibitions catalogues. She holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
