Dr. Alice Klima

Dr. Alice Klima received her PhD in the History of Art and Architecture from Brown University. Her area of expertise focuses on late medieval and early modern Central European built environments. She is interested in the meaning of architecture as generated through daily use and function of space, especially in monastic communities, in addition to the process of building and patronage. Her recent publication titled “Entwined Meanings and Organic Form at the Prague Cathedral Royal Oratory” in Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture (Brill, 2023) considers politics, religious reform, and theoretical implications of a royal monument. She has taught a broad range of art history classes and enjoys introducing students to the history of art.
