Lina María Rodríguez Perico

Lina entered the PhD program in 2020. She is interested in studying the artistic exchanges between Europe and South America during the Early Modern Period, specially the migration and transformation of European iconographical models. She is also keen on emblems and numismatics, topics she has delved into during her BA and MA dissertations. Lina holds a BA (Cum Laude) in History of Art from the Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia). Her thesis, Del libro de emblemas al espacio monacal: la serie de emblemas de amor divino del Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena (Arequipa, Perú), received a meritorious award and has been presented in different international conferences. In 2019 she received her MA in Art History, Curatorship and Renaissance Culture from the Warburg Institute, where her postgraduate studies were generously supported by the University of London. Her master’s dissertation, titled FELICITAS in Italian Renaissance Visual Culture: The Role of Sixteenth-Century Printed Sources in the Re-Appropriation of Classical Motifs, was awarded a distinction. Before arriving to Columbia, Lina held internships at the Museo Colonial in Bogotá (2015), the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice (2016), and worked as a curator for a bank’s private collection in Colombia.
