Juliet Huang

Juliet is a first-year PhD student studying late medieval and early modern European art with Professor Elizabeth Honig. Her interests include Franco-Flemish courtly culture, textile history, early modern portraiture, fashion plates throughout history, and more recently, the intersection of art and AI.

She received her BA in Psychology and Art History from University of Washington, Seattle in 2016. She received her first MA in Medieval and Renaissance Studies at University College London. She completed her second MA in Art History at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University in 2020. Her MA thesis proposes an analysis of portraits of ancient heroins in a manuscript commissioned by the French noblewoman Louise of Savoy at the end of the fifteenth century. She reads the many signs in the images, and especially the elements of attire, to produce a contextualised reading of the portraits in relation to prominent female personages in Louise's ambient.

Juliet worked at the Frick Collection in New York 2018-2019. She assisted with sorting and created bibliographic records for 19th-and-20th-century auction catalogues.
