About

Steven J. Cody (Ph.D., 2015) is primarily a scholar of Italian art and culture from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. His scholarly work has been recognized by organizations such as the Council of European Studies, which awarded him a prestigious Andrew W. Mellon fellowship, and by several academic journals.

His book, Andrea del Sarto: Splendor and Renewal in the Renaissance Altarpiece (Brill, 2020), focuses on an elusive and somewhat neglected painter from Renaissance Florence. The nature of this project casts considerable light on the ways in which religious paintings participate in cultural discourses of spiritual transformation.

As a professor in the Department of Art and Design at Purdue University Fort Wayne, Steven offers a range of courses that cover all periods in the history of art. In each of his classes, the visual arts emerge as an important context in which a wide array of human experiences find tangible expression.
