About Me
Marta Faust is a historian of art and visual culture in early-modern Europe, ca. 1400–1600, with an emphasis on printed images and print culture through the 1820s. Her recent work examines the circulation of images in the Low Countries and German language regions, and investigates questions of reception, media, forms of memory, and relations between pictures and literary translations. Dr. Faust earned a PhD in the History of Art and Architecture from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Research support has come from the German Studies Association, the Newberry Library, the Albert and Elaine Borchard Foundation, and United University Professions/State University of New York. She has published peer-reviewed articles in the Journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art and Word & Image. In 2020–2021 she was Max Kade Postdoctoral Fellow in the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies, where she began working on a book on the late resurgence and reception of prints designed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. She has previously taught at the University of California, the State University of New York at Oneonta, and the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
