Summary Statement of Research Interests |

| Early Modern/Italian Renaissance: 15th-16th Century Art and Architecture. Eunice Howe specializes in Italian Renaissance art and architecture. Her interests include gender and the built environment, travel literature, Renaissance urbanism, papal patronage and 15th century Roman painting. She is working on a book titled The Art and Architecture of Healing; Hospitals in Early Modern Italy, 1400-1600 that examines how hospital design defined individual health within a larger social sphere.
