Dr Elisabeth Berry Drago is a historian of Early Modern European art from the Renaissance through the Baroque periods. Her research explores technique and practice within the artist’s studio, the history of the print as a medium for art and communication, and the connections between art and emerging natural science. Her most recent book, Painted Alchemists: Early Modern Artistry and Experiment in the Work of Thomas Wijck (Amsterdam University Press, 2019), explores how painters used alchemy to shape their own artistic personas as “masters of nature”. In addition to her research, Drago has worked as a curator, producing exhibitions on art, science and material culture.
