Shelley Zuraw received her MA and PhD at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, where she worked with John Pope-Hennessy. Since 1992 she has taught Renaissance and Baroque art at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. There, between 1998 and 2008, she was both head of art history and Associate Director of the School of Art. Between 2007 and 2009 she was President of the Italian Art Society. Her research focuses on fifteenth-century sculpture, especially in Florence and Rome. She has published articles on the sculpture in the Palazzo Venezia, Mino da Fiesole’s tombs in the Florentine Badia, Mino’s Medici portraits, the fifteenth-century plans for the façade of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, the tomb of Cardinal Niccolò Forteguerri in San Clemente, Rome, two quattrocento tombs in Rome for Cardinal Marco Barbo and Bishop Giovanni Francesco Brusati, Andrea Bregno and Michelangelo, and Vasari’s lives of the “little marble masters,” and a lost relief of Apollo from the Stroganoff Collection. She is preparing a paper on “Looking Backwards” Bridging two centuries of Renaissance Art” for SCSC in October 2024. Her “last” PhD student will be defending in November of 2023.
