Until 2016, she taught in the Department of History of Art at University College London. She is the author of three books—*Titian Remade. Repetition and the Transformation of Early Modern Italian Art* (Getty Research Intitute, 2007); *Still Lives. Death, Desire, and the Portrait of the Old Master* (Princeton, 2015); and *Titian’s Touch. Art, Magic, & Philosophy* (Reaktion, 2019)—and the editor of two special issues of the *Oxford Art Journal*—*Early Modern Horror* (Oxford, 2011) and *Mal’occhio: Looking Awry at the Renaissance* (co-edited with Patricia Rubin, Oxford, 2009). She is a regular contributor to *Art in America* and has also written on: portraiture and loss; “special affect” in early modern painting and sculpture; melancholia and the Renaissance in Ottocento Italy; remakes in Chinese cinema; repetition in Hitchcock’s Vertigo; and the work of Sherrie Levine. Her fourth book *Liquid Sky* will explore visual representations of the early modern sky.
