Biography
Dominic studies eighteenth-century British art and visual culture in an international context. His doctoral thesis explores how and why a diverse group of artists and artisans became interested in mathematical approaches to art-making and aesthetics in London between approximately 1710 and 1760. His research has been supported by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and the Lewis Walpole Library.
Dominic has BA and MA degrees in Art History from the Courtauld Institute of Art, and in the spring of 2022, he was a visiting student in the Department of the History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University. Before coming to Brown, Dominic worked in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum.
