Sanne Steen

I am an enthusiastic and ambitious historian of art and culture. I enjoy exploring and crossing the borders of the discipline. My main academic interest is early modern imaging and its assimilation into the widespread medium of graphic arts. I have pursued this interest in my master thesis concerning Mahomets Alkoran (1696), the first and only illustrated Qur’an. As of November 2021 I am a PhD researcher at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. My research concerns the historical appropriation of Desiderius Erasmus in Rotterdam.

When I cannot be found roaming among museums or libraries I am likely hiking in the forest or ballroom dancing.
