Dal Pozzo Project Research Assistant
The Royal Collection
The Royal Household - Warburg Institute
Based at the Warburg Institute, London (though much time will be spent
at other locations, including the Royal Library at Windsor Castle).
c. £21,000 p.a. plus benefits. Fixed-term project for three years.
The Print Room at Windsor Castle is responsible for the works of art on
paper in the Royal Collection, including old master drawings,
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century watercolours, and prints - over
150,000 items in all.
Among the old master drawings is the major surviving portion of the
'Paper Museum' of Cassiano dal Pozzo (1588-1657), a visual encyclopaedia
of the ancient and natural worlds. Other portions are to be found in the
Institut de France, the British Museum, the British Library and
elsewhere. The Dal Pozzo Project was begun in the 1980s to research and
publish catalogues of this collection, in around 35 volumes, of which 15
have been published to date (see the Project website at
warburg.sas.ac.uk/pozzo/ )
The opportunity has arisen for a Research Assistant to join the Dal
Pozzo Project for a three year period. The post-holder will be
responsible for the preparation of draft catalogue entries for 1300
drawings mainly after Roman sculpture, which will form Parts A.III
(Sarcophagi and Other Reliefs) and A.IV (Statues and Busts) of the Dal
Pozzo catalogue series.
The closing date for applications is 3 May 2010.
