Escardiel González is Associate Professor in the Department of Art History at the Universidad de Sevilla, where she has been teaching since 2011. Her research interests focus on Image and Visual Culture in the early modern global Hispanic world: Italy, the American viceroyalties, and the Philippines (ca. 1500-1800). She has also studied relics and their relationship to art and image as well as their festive culture.
Her most recent publications include Intersecciones de la imagen religiosa en el mundo hispánico: espacio, prácticas y percepción (2019); Extraña devoción. De Reliquias y relicarios (2021), an exhibition catalogue which she co-curated in the M. N. Escultura de Valladolid; “Indigenous Angels: Hybridity and Troubled Identities in the Iberian Network”, RSJ (2019); and “The Image and Cult of Sette Arcangeli facing Roman Censorship,” in Sacred Images and Normativity, edited by Franceschini (Brepols, 2022).
Escardiel has participated in the following international research projects: “Spanish Italy and the Iberian Americas” (Columbia University, Getty Foundation), “Circulación de la Imagen en la geografía artística de la Edad moderna hispánica” (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), and “Coadjutores: artistas e ideas migrantes en la globalización ibérica” (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid).
