Dear
visitor! My name is Peter Gillgren and I'm a Swedish professor of
Art History at Stockholm University. In 1995 I received my PhD
from Uppsala University on a dissertation
about painted epitaphs in Early Modern Sweden. Between 1998 and 2007
I've been working at Gotland
University in
Visby (Högskolan på Gotland). More recently I have published
articles on Renaissance and Baroque art, as well as on the theories
of Art History. Right now I'm finishing at book called
Federico Barocci and the Spectator. It is
mostly about the art of the Urbino painter Federico Barocci (1535-1612)
but also more generally about aesthetic communication in the 16th
century.
Beside
the Early Modern period I have an interest in contemporary art, music
and multi-media.
My
home is in the old town of Visby, where I live together with Maria
and our daughter Anina in
a
late 15th century building
