Elizabeth Rodini
Elizabeth Rodini is the Mellon Projects Curator at the David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art. Other exhibitions curated in collaboration with University of Chicago faculty include The Place of the Antique in Early Modern Europe, Pious Journeys: Christian Devotional Art and Practice in the Later Middle Ages and Renaissance, and A Well-Fashioned Image: Clothing and Costume in European Art, 1500–1850 (opening at the Smart Museum October 23, 2001).

The Theatrical Baroque was made possible by a grant to the Smart Museum from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to encourage innovative uses of the museum’s collection by University of Chicago faculty and students. Each Mellon project consists of three principal components: an exhibition, a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue authored by faculty and students, and a course taught by the participating faculty member. Upcoming Mellon projects and their faculty curators include A Well-Fashioned Image: Clothing and Costume in European Art, 1500–1850 (Professor Elissa B. Weaver, October 23, 2001–April 28, 2002); Confronting Identity in German Art, 1800–2000, (Professor Reinhold Heller, fall 2002); and Enchanting Images: Picturing Narratives in Renaissance Art (Professor Frederick De Armas, spring and summer, 2003).
