C. Jean Campbell is a Professor at Emory University specializing in the visual arts of late medieval and Renaissance Italy. Her research bridges literature and art, focusing on vernacular poetics, imitative practices, and portraiture within the cultural contexts of the early Renaissance.

• Ph.D. from The Johns Hopkins University (1992)

Professor Campbell's research explores the intersections of poetry and painting in medieval and Renaissance Italy. She investigates how vernacular literary traditions influenced artistic production, particularly in the works of Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch, and analyzes the development of portraiture and biographical fiction. Her studies often focus on the techniques of devotion in religious art and the role of imitation in artistic innovation during the early Renaissance.

Her recent publications, including book chapters on Carlo Crivelli, Vasari, and Simone Martini, reflect a sustained engagement with the connections between poetic and artistic practices. Current book projects examine Pisanello's imitative practices and Simone Martini's role in the origins of vernacular style.
