Short presentation

I am professor in Art History, specialized in medieval book illuminations from France and Scandinavia. My research focus is the art of the medieval book, bookillumination. The last 20 years I have lead several studies on the medieval Vadstena Abbey and its physical heritage: textile, art, architecture etc.

A digital auralised 3D reconstruction of Vadstena Abbey church around 1470 was created by the interdisciplinary project Multisensory perspectives on the late medieval Vadstena abbey church.

Biography

My dissertation (2002) treated Parisian Book Illumination from around 1400. Since then I have studied medieval book illuminations in Swedish collections, illuminated manuscripts by the nuns in Vadstena Abbey, medieval parchment fragments and a medical scroll from the 15th C. The ongoing research concerns the Birgittine order and Vadstena Abbey, focusing the interior shape/design of the Abbey church and how the pictorial strategy was created for the different user groups. I am also involved in international networks on the Birgittine order, medieval nuns artistry and literacy and, iconography.
