Presentation

Dear visitor! This is the personal homepage of Peter Gillgren, Anders Zorn professor of Art History at Stockholm University. He received his PhD in 1995 from Uppsala University on a dissertation about painted epitaphs in Early Modern Sweden.

Publications include articles on Renaissance and Baroque art, as well as on the theories of Art History. In 2009 appeared a book on art and identity in 16th century Sweden. A book on the spectatorship and site specificity of Federico Barocci's art is out in March 2011.

Currently he is working on a project on Michelangelo and multimedia.

Beside the Early Modern period Gillgren is interested in contemporary art, music and multi-media.

Peter Gillgren lives with his family in the centre of Stockholm.
