• Douglas Brine has taught at 性爱天堂 since 2009 after having completed his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. His research and teaching focus on the visual arts in northern Europe during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance with a particular emphasis on sculpture, painting, and metalwork in the Low Countries. His doctoral work was concerned with the art of commemoration and centered on Netherlandish wall-mounted memorials (or "epitaphs") and their relation to contemporary painting, notably that of Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. His current research project explores the creation, dissemination, and meanings of brass and bronze sculpture from the Netherlands during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. A secondary field of interest is the Gothic Revival in nineteenth-century England and the work of the architect and theorist Augustus Pugin.

    Dr Brine鈥檚 scholarship has been supported by fellowships at the Courtauld Research Forum, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (National Gallery of Art), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His book听Pious Memories听was published by Brill in 2015; his听Art Bulletin听article on Van Eyck鈥檚听Van der Paele Virgin听was awarded the 2015 Arthur Kingsley Porter Prize by the College Art Association.
