Peter J. Bell - The Museum, the Academy and Rome

"I went to Rome having worked for several years in New York on an art history dissertation and a museum collection catalogue in tandem. It was doubly my good fortune to move for nearly a year to the American Academy in Rome and then return again to New York and museum work in an expanded role. In the six months since, I have begun to discover the ramifications of ‘The Rome Year’ on my area of scholarship—the history of European sculpture in the fertile years of the 15th and 16th centuries—and, just as importantly, on my vocation—presenting and interpreting art of the past." Peter J. Bell, FAAR’13
