Prof. Dr. Anthony Cutler
Field of Research: Art History In Germany: 01.01.2002 - 31.03.2002 Host's project description Among the material remains of Late Antiquity and the Byzantine period the carved ivories, which are decorated with images in relief, are of exceptional importance. For their according-to-plan depictions usually carry leading ideas. Professor Cutler devoted himself to these "monumental" artifacts. He widened our knowledge and deepended our understanding of theses unique visual sources. A new critical edition of these ivories is most desirable and urgently needed for the research. The Humboldt Award will enable Professor Cutler, through interchange and by cooperative work with German colleagues and students, to bring this research project to completion.

Prof. Dr. Frank Fehrenbach
Field of Research: Art History In Germany: 01.07.2018 - Host's project description Frank Fehrenbach is globally recognised as an outstanding scholar who has revitalised art history and established it as overarching Visual Studies. He received international acclaim for his studies on the works of Leonardo da Vinci in which he examines aspects of art history in a new interdisciplinary context invoking mathematics, optics, physics, geoscience and psychology. Fehrenbach thus overcomes the boundaries of his discipline and sets new benchmarks for art history as one of the innovative humanities. In Hamburg Fehrenbach is due to spearhead the realignment of the long-established Department of Art History and build up and lead a cross-disciplinary Research Centre on Images of Nature which is set to play a pioneering role in art history internationally.
