Anne Dunlop is Professor of Art History and Herald Chair of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. Her prizewinning publications include Painted Palaces: The Rise of Secular Art in Early Renaissance Italy; The Matter of Art: Materials, Practices, Cultural Logics, c. 1250–1750; and Antipodean Early Modern: European Art in Australian Collections, c. 1200–1600.

The various contributions are of high scholarly standard, yet accessible to nonspecialists as well, and the combination of historical and art historical approaches, with a large role for material culture, is a valuable one.
