Dr Jamie Edwards

I am senior lecturer in Art History and Visual Culture. My main interests are in Western European art and visual culture c.1400-1650, with a focus on southern Netherlandish visual cultures, particularly in Antwerp. I am particularly interested in Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c.1526/30-69) and his dynasty, especially his son Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564-1637/38). I run specialist option modules on the Italian and Netherlandish Renaissances (AHV2024: Renaissances North and South) and on art in sixteenth-century Antwerp (AHV3017: 'Queen City of Europe').

I also have an abiding interest in Italian Renaissance art, architecture and urban cultures, which I also teach, including the annual AHVC field trip to Florence, which I co-lead (in AHV2015).

Before joining Exeter in 2019, I was lecturer (2017-19) in the department of Art History at the University of Birmingham, from where I gained my AHRC-funded PhD in 2016. Prior to that I held a lectureship at Oxford Brookes University.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
