About Tanya Tiffany
Headshot of Tanya TiffanyTanya Tiffany is professor and chair of the Department of Art History at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Her first book, "Diego Velázquez’s Early Paintings and the Culture of Seventeenth-Century Seville," was published in 2012 and received an honorable mention for the Eleanor Tufts Book Award from the American Society for Hispanic Art Historical Studies. Among her other publications, she has co-edited a collection of essays, "Velázquez Re-Examined: Theory, History, Poetry, and Theatre" (2017). In collaboration with Laura Bass, Tiffany is currently completing a translation and bilingual edition of the manuscript "Vida" of the painter-nun Estefanía de la Encarnación (ca. 1597–1665): the only known autobiography by an early modern woman artist. The project has been awarded a Scholarly Editions and Translations Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the book is slated to be published as part of "The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe" series. Tiffany is also a member of a research project funded by the Spanish government and headed by María Cruz de Carlos Varona, which focuses on artistic agency among Habsburg women (AGENART, La agencia artística de las mujeres de la Casa de Austria 1532–1700 [ref. PID2020-116100GB-I00]).
