Julia Lillie studies the print culture of early modern Europe. She specializes in sixteenth-century prints, illustrated books and maps made in Northern Europe, and on the ways these highly mobile objects created and disseminated knowledge in an increasingly connected world. Her work also investigates the formation of social networks in the collaborative environments of printshops, the migrations of Protestant Netherlandish artists, and the education and scholarly ambitions of early modern printmakers. In her teaching, Lillie is passionate about highlighting materials and processes of making. From 2014 to 2016 she served as the Collections Manager in the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
