Affiliated scholar biography - Brian Baugh
Brian Baugh is a multidisciplinary artist. While he holds degrees in painting, his artworks take the form of sculptures, ceramics works, photographs, drawings, prints, and musical instruments. However, the artists of the Florentine Renaissance have long influenced Brian’s artwork. He is currently working on a series of paintings and sculptures created from imagination and inspired by the faces and bodies in Renaissance art. Brian is interested in the influence of Renaissance art throughout many periods of art history. Brian’s course in Florence will focus on how Victorian artists traveled to Florence, studied the works of the Renaissance artists, and then were influenced by that experience.
