Antonio Pollaiuolo's Tomb of Sixtus IV:

This project came about after a year of research and an inital interest in how I could incorporate my past interests in the sciences into this project. I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Kim Butler Wingfield, and Dr. Joanne Allen, my second reader, both of whom provided constant feedback and assistance on this journey. Thank you for providing your insight and expertise to my writing and ideas. Additionally, I’d like to thank my friends who endured my struggles about building a website, translating Latin, and my many midnight texts and snapchats with questions and breakthroughs. Although our first year of virtual classes was difficult, I could not be more thankful to have found such a wonderful group of people to be around and call my friends.

I could not have finished this project without the support of Chris. You provided much-needed stress relief, facetimes, love and support when I got into the many ruts of this project. Your distractions (while not always helpful) were very necessary and I couldn’t have done this whole adventure of these past two years of graduate school without you.

Finally, to my parents, thank you for supporting me in pursuing my interests in Art History, helping me explore new cities, and trying to keep up with me while I tried to explain my often non-coherent ideas. I love you both so much.
