Carmen Ripollés completed her bachelor’s degree in art history at the University of Valencia (Spain), and her master’s and PhD in art history at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on the art of the Iberian World during the early modern period, with special attention to its social functions, global intersections, and connections to material culture. In addition to the Medieval World survey, she teaches upper courses on Northern Renaissance and Baroque art, Spanish Baroque art, and Latin American art of the colonial period, and seminars on still life painting, Early Modern women artists, and Early Modern material culture.
In addition to several edited volumes, her work has appeared in Emblematica, Renaissance Quarterly, Oxford Bibliographies, Reales Sitios, Sixteenth Century Journal, the Boletín del Museo del Prado, the Anuario del Departamento de Historia y Teoría del Arte, and Smarthistory. She just completed the first English monograph on the Portuguese artist Josefa de Óbidos for Lund Humphries' series "Illuminating Women Artists: Renaissance and Baroque,” which will be published in September 2025.
