María Suárez holds a degree in Art History from the Complutense University of Madrid, where she also earned a Master’s degree in Advanced Studies in Art History.
During her stay in Florence, she will work on a project entitled “I doni dei Medici alla Corte di Filippo II di Spagna: Il Cardinale Ferdinando e l’opere dei Bassano”, which aims to delve into the shipments of paintings by this family of artists as diplomatic gifts from Cardinal Ferdinando de’ Medici to the court of Philip II, as well as the transformation of the use of gifts during his time as Grand Duke of Tuscany. This work is part of the research she is conducting for her doctoral thesis, “Las obras de los Bassano como regalo diplomático entre Ferdinando I de’ Medici y la corte de Felipe II y Felipe III (1579-1609)”, supervised by Matteo Mancini (Complutense University of Madrid) and Sergio Ramiro Ramírez (Spanish National Research Council).
