Kristen Lippincott Libri
La dottoressa Kristen Lippincott è una figura di spicco nel mondo dei musei, con una profonda esperienza nella confluenza tra storia dell'arte, storia culturale e storia della scienza. I suoi prolifici scritti esplorano questi campi interconnessi, spesso mettendo in evidenza gli strumenti scientifici e la loro mutevole iconografia. La ricerca di Lippincott approfondisce le narrazioni storiche e visive integrate nei concetti scientifici, particolarmente evidenti nel suo lavoro sulla cartografia celeste. La sua ricerca in corso continua questa indagine, tracciando l'evoluzione delle rappresentazioni e dei significati delle costellazioni dall'antichità al Rinascimento.
