Studiolo is an international journal open to the latest research in all fields of art history. Each issue features a call for contributions thematic dossier and four sections for off-theme proposals (Varia, Debates), documentary studies (Villa Medici, history and heritage), as well as the participation of the current year’s residents (Champ libre). An international scientific committee, periodically renewed, ensures the editorial line and selection of articles. Since 2021, the magazine has been published by Éditions Macula.


Studiolo N°21: submit your articles!

This issue’s dossier is dedicated to the theme of EUROPE, and invites us to update our critical reflection on Europe in the arts, which emphasises cross-disciplinary dialogue and the complex and contradictory nature of a space and an imaginary that are constantly changing.

Over these past few years, Europe has been at the center of certain socio-political events that have dangerously revived the spectres haunting the “Old Continent”. Tensions have surfaced once again that undermine the historical, geographical and administrative bases of this multiply defined space.
