Francesca Kaes

Francesca Kaes is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, serving as Graduate Projects Coordinator in the Humanities Division. Her DPhil research focuses on Alexander Cozens's intermedial practices between painting and printmaking in late 18th-century British art, challenging traditional views of prints as derivative copies. She holds a BA in European Art History and Classical Archaeology from Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg and an MA in Art and Visual History from Humboldt University Berlin.

Her research interests include art theory, digital methodologies in art history, and intermedial relationships between art forms. She has held roles at the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC) and the British Museum (London), and currently coordinates humanities graduate initiatives at Oxford. Her work is supported by the AHRC, the Fund for Women Graduates, and the Paul Mellon Centre.
