Julia Grace Lillie studies the print culture of early modern Europe. Her dissertation, defended in 2023, investigated the effects of the expulsion of Protestant artists from the Southern Netherlands upon print, book and map production in sixteenth-century Cologne. Julia’s work deals with the creation and dissemination of knowledge through print, artist networks across national borders, and the education and scholarly ambitions of early modern printmakers. She received a BA in Art History and Modern History from the University of St. Andrews (2008) and an MA from the BGC (2014). She was a Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2021-22. Her research has also been supported by the Renaissance Society of America, the Herzog-August-Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel, and the Newberry Library, Chicago, among other institutions. From 2014 to 2016 she served as the Collections Manager in the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Julia is currently a Lecturer in Art History at the University at Buffalo SUNY.
