Biography
Angelo Lo Conte is Assistant Professor at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University. Before joining HKBU in 2019, he was Endeavour post-doctoral fellow at the Australian Institute of Art History, Melbourne, and the inaugural ACIS Research Fellow at the David Rosand Library and Study Centre in Venice. Angelo is the author of The Procaccini and the Business of Painting in Early Modern Milan published by Routledge in 2021. His contributions to numerous academic journals and edited volumes have appeared in English and Italian. His research has been supported by individual project grants, fellowships and residencies from institutions that include the Research Grant Council of Hong Kong, the Australian Government (through the Endeavour Fellowship Programme), the Ian Potter Museum Melbourne, the Trustees of the Burlington Magazine Foundation, the Australasian Centre for Italian Studies and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Angelo Lo Conte is a recipient of the Francis Haskell Memorial Fund and member of the Programme Committee of the Italian Art Society. While his previous research investigated the economy of art, his current interest lies in the study of the interconnections between art practice and disability. Angelo is the Principal Investigator of two research projects funded by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong: The Colours of Silence: Untold Stories of Deaf Painters in Early Modern Europe (2020-2022) and Seeing the Invisible: Visual Representations of Disability in Early Modern Europe (1400-1700) (2022-2025).
