Aneta Georgievska-Shine, PhD, teaches in the Department of Art History at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Her interest in artistic dialogues across different cultures is exemplified by books such as Rubens and the Archaeology of Myth: Visual and Poetic Memory, 2009, and Rubens, Velázquez and the King of Spain, 2014, co-authored with Larry Silver (University of Pennsylvania). Her most recent volume, Vermeer and the Art of Love, was included in the Choice list of Outstanding Academic Titles for 2023.

She has also contributed to volumes of essays edited by leading scholars in Early Modern studies, as well as to numerous journals such as the Art Bulletin, Word and Image, Artibus et Historiae, Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek, Marburger Jahrbuch für Kunstwissenschaft, Intersections, and the Journal of the Historians of Netherlandish Art. Recent articles include a reconsideration of Titian’s late poesie (Harvard I Tatti Studies, 2023) and a new study of Rembrandt’s Aristotle with the Bust of Homer (Journal of the Historians of Netherlandish Art, 2024). Her interests in other art historical periods are exemplified by her curatorial work and publications on modern and contemporary art.

Beyond the academic environment, Professor Georgievska-Shine frequently presents lectures for institutions such as the Smithsonian and 92Y in New York.
