Graylin Harrison

Graylin is a scholar of early modern art and architecture (ca. 1400-1800) and has been devoted to the study of art and culture since her very first course as an undergraduate, a survey of European modernism. She was the 2020-2022 Samuel H. Kress Institutional Fellow at Rome's Bibliotheca Hertziana, and her work has been additionally supported by the Italian Art Society, the Renaissance Society of America, and the Josephine de Karman Fellowship Trust, among others. She has served as Lecturer at the Bing Stanford in Washington program and, beyond academic work, is committed to educating a broad public in the arts and humanities. While her scholarship considers the Renaissance/Baroque period, she has a deep love for early twentieth-century abstraction and contemporary figuration.

In the 2025-2026 academic year Graylin will join Harvard's Dumbarton Oaks as a Garden and Landscape Fellow. She completed her Ph.D. in Art History at Stanford University and received her A.B. from Dartmouth College.
