Rachel Kline is a third year PhD student studying the art and culture of the Italian Renaissance. Prior to attending BU, Rachel earned her B.A. in history of art and anthropology with a minor in Italian from Haverford College. With a background in anthropology, she hopes to use this perspective to explore the cultural meanings acquired by art objects and their materials circulating in the Renaissance. Rachel is especially interested in the artistic exchange between Italy and Northern Europe during the fifteenth century. Originally from New Jersey, Rachel has held internships in the curatorial department of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Penn Museum.
