Ivy D’Agostino is a second year master’s student on the research track. She researches art, objects, and architecture from the Early Modern period and focuses specifically on themes of embodied spirituality, materiality, cross-cultural collision, and religious syncretism, specifically in the context of colonial Latin America. In 2023, she was a co-curator for the exhibition The Art of the Book: Treasures from the Special Collections Research Center at Temple University’s Charles Library and published a video essay on Cesare Vecellio’s De gli habiti antichi et moderni di diverse parti del mondo in the A Look At a Book series on STELLA.
Ivy received her BA in Art History from Marywood University alongside an applied major in Religious Studies and a minor in English. There she explored similar themes of embodied spirituality and religious syncretism in her undergraduate honors thesis titled "Our Lady of Guadalupe: Baroque Artistic Syncretism and Contemporary Mexican Women’s Religious Identity". When not at Tyler, you can find Ivy working at a coffee shop in Doylestown and playing handbells in her church’s choir!
