Florence Larcher

Florence Larcher is a doctoral student in art history at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, under the supervision of Philippe Morel, where she is preparing a thesis devoted to the Italian images of Roch de Montpellier between 1350 and 1680. Her research interests include mural painting, ex-votos, the mobility of artists and their studios, and the seriality and ambiguity of sacred images.

 

Her residency project focuses on the Romanesque nature of the images of Roch de Montpellier, which emerges from the devotional objects depicted there in response to the Great Western Schism and then under the impetus of the Counter-Reformation.
