Brothers is the author ofhth华体会体育app官网Michelangelo, Drawing, and the Invention of Architecture(Yale University Press, 2008), which won the Charles Rufus Morey Book Award from the College Art Association and the Alice Davis Hitchcock Award from the Society of Architectural Historians.She is currently working on a book on Giuliano de Sangallo's drawings of the ruins of Rome.

hth华体会体育app官网Brothers's research and publications focus on architectural drawing, artistic exchange around the Mediterranean, Renaissance theories of architecture and literature, and interaction between the practices of painting, architecture, and sculpture.hth华体会体育app官网Brothers teaches lecture courses on Italian Renaissance and Mediterranean architecture and on Rome, Venice, and Istanbul.hth华体会体育app官网Her seminars have considered topics such as architecture and urbanism in Renaissance Rome, architecture and painting, Venice, ruins in the Renaissance, Renaissance drawing, and theory and methods of architectural history.

hth华体会体育app官网In her lecture, "Architecture and Empire in Southern Spain," Brothers will discuss the construction of new palaces in and around Granada and Seville following the re-conquest of Granada in 1492.The new Christian elite had to develop an architectural language appropriate to their expanded empire in a politically charged environment.The result—a surprising combination of Islamic and Italian modes of building—manifests the collision of style and ideology.
