Dr Raymond Carlson
Raymond was Fellow by Examination at Magdalen College from 2021-23, after which he became Manager of Student Engagement at the Yale University Art Gallery. He is an expert in the relationship between art and literature in early-modern Italy, and his first book project examines Michelangelo’s art and poetry through their interrelated social and material histories.

He received his BA from Yale University in History of Art and Italian Language and Literature. His scholarship, which has appeared in various journals and edited volumes, has been supported by the American Academy in Rome, Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other institutions.
