Sarah McPhee is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art History at Emory University. She holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University (1997) and an A.B. from Harvard College (1982). Her research focuses on 17th- and 18th-century European architecture, Baroque sculpture, and the intersections of art, urbanism, and print culture. She is renowned for her groundbreaking work on Gian Lorenzo Bernini, particularly her book Bernini’s Beloved: A Portrait of Costanza Piccolomini (2012), which re-examined the life of Bernini’s muse Costanza Piccolomini through extensive archival research. McPhee’s scholarship also explores cartography, artistic biography, and the history of the book.
Her publications include exhibition catalogues like Antichità, teatro, magnificenza (2013) and digital humanities projects such as Envisioning Baroque Rome. Her articles span topics from Bernini’s architectural projects to the cartographic works of Giovanni Battista Falda. Current projects include studies on Falda and Bernini’s topographical contributions.
McPhee’s work has been featured in podcasts and international lectures, such as her participation at the Jaipur Literature Festival. She teaches seminars on Baroque Rome, artistic biography, and architectural competition. Her research emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, linking visual art with historical, social, and political contexts.
Her advising and grants include contributions to Emory’s Michael C. Carlos Museum exhibitions and collaborations with institutions like the Getty Research Institute. She maintains active engagement with digital initiatives and public scholarship, bridging academic rigor with accessible cultural narratives.
