Claudia Hopkins wins book prize

Established in 2022, the Jonathan Brown Award recognizes exceptional achievement in an exhibition catalogue dedicated to an Iberian or global Iberian theme. The award is named for the renowned scholar, professor, and curator Jonathan Brown (1939–2022). The award committee (Dr. Alexandra O. Letvin, Princeton University Art Museum; Dr. Rebecca J. Long, The Art Institute of Chicago; Dr. Michael A. Brown, The San Diego Museum of Art) unanimously voted for Romantic Spain. David Roberts and Genaro Pérez Villaamil, edited by Claudia Hopkins.

According to the committee, “this richly illustrated catalogue offers a comprehensive study between these two artists. The publication combines an impressive array of around 120 objects and critical scholarship by twelve contributors. At once a thorough and nuanced examination of artistic and archival material, it simultaneously offers an important critical revision of Iberian Orientalism”.
