Karl-Magnus Brose is a PhD candidate at the University of Virginia and 2024-25 Census x Warburg x Bibliotheca Hertziana Census Fellow at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. His dissertation “Forms of the Antique: Edme Bouchardon and the Sculptural Imaginary, 1723-1762” examines the ways that the reproduction and circulation of handheld and portable sculpture such as gems and medals shaped the practice of modern sculptors and the theoretical coordinates of art historical thinking in the eighteenth century. His project with the Census studies the relay between ancient and modern portraiture in early eighteenth-century Rome, asking how processes of transfer and reproduction in a variety of materials and formats shaped contemporary views of ancient sculpture.
