art historian and researcher at the institute of art history and visual culture at humboldt university of berlin, where he works as wissenschaftlicher mitarbeiter (researcher) in the chair of early modern art history.

his research activity focuses in particular on the history of renaissance and early modern art, with a specific attention to italy and the global connections of artistic culture. his main fields of study include art historiography, the warburg school tradition, the thought of edgar wind, the reception of antiquity and the theory of form and the formless in images.

he teaches courses and seminars dedicated to renaissance art and philosophy, renaissance venetian painting and the historical-critical analysis of works of art, combining teaching with scientific research and the curation of editorial and academic projects in the field of art history.

he has published a study on the iconography of chaos entitled chaosbilder. ikonen ursprünglicher formlosigkeit, berlin, 2025, and on the iconic thought of the american philosopher charles s. peirce, peirce’ bildnerisches denken, with moritz queisner and tullio viola, berlin, 2012.

he is currently conducting extensive research on a new concept of the art museum based on the idea that each work should be observed in the luminous and perceptual condition for which it was originally conceived.

he is currently developing research aimed at defining a new museographic paradigm, based on overcoming the traditional conception of the museum as a mere container of artworks. his investigation supports the need to consider the artwork as the generating principle of the exhibition space, so that the museum is built around it according to its nature, its scale and the conditions necessary for its proper perception and enhancement, with particular attention to the role of natural light as a fundamental element in restoring the authentic visual and perceptual experience of the work.
