Information trouvée : Eve Borsook (3 October 1929 – 31 August 2022) was a Canadian-born American art historian,
teacher and author, specialising in murals (both wall paintings and mosaics). Her
other interests included the history of glass in relation to mosaics, 16th century
Florentine ceremonial decoration, and Italian cloister art. Eve Borsook received
a BA in the History of Art from Vassar College, New York in 1949. She went on to the
Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, completing her MA in 1952 with a dissertation
on the early Baroque painter Carlo Saraceni (her supervisor was the German art historian,
Walter Friedlander). While pursuing her graduate studies, Borsook was also working
for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She then went on to London for her doctoral research
on Italian mural painting at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London,
where her supervisor was the art historian Johannes Wilde. Her PhD thesis, 'Principles
of mural decoration in fourteenth century Tuscan fresco cycles', completed in 1956,
was published in revised form in 1960. Much of Borsook's later work has also taken
place at the Villa I Tatti (the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance
Studies): she was appointed research associate there (1981-1989), then senior research
associate (2003-2015), and was later senior research associate emeritus.She has also
taught as a visiting professor at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts,
as well as other institutes in the USA, Italy and Australia
