David Garcia Lopez

David Garcia Lopez is Professor of Art History at Universidad de Murcia, specializing in Spanish art historiography from the Renaissance to Enlightenment. His research examines the writings of Juan Agustín Ceán Bermúdez, artistic theory in Baroque Spain, and 19th-century print culture.

Key publications include critical editions of Pliny's writings on art, Michelangelo's letters, and studies on Spanish Romanticism. He explores how art historical canons developed in Spain through royal collections, academic discourses, and lithographic reproduction. Research connects art criticism with political transformations during the transition from absolutism to liberalism.
