Dr. Sheila McTighe has now left the Courtauld Institute to become an independent art historian, publishing studeis of early modern arts, and lecturing in the context of widening participation and public programmes. She took her PhD at Yale University with a thesis on Nicolas Poussin and libertinage, which became the subject of her first book. She taught subsequently at Cornell and Columbia Universities before arriving at The Courtauld in 1998. Her interests then took her toward the study of 17th century naturalism and the depiction of everyday life. This in turn led to fascination with 17th-century Italian and French prints and with print culture more broadly. Her current research is on the correspondence of Nicolas Poussin, woriing toward the first English translation of all of the artist's letters. A long term project is the study of Jacques Callot's prints. She enjoys being able to teach in front of works of art in London’s museum collections, and travelling with students to study paintings and prints in Paris and Rome.
