Cristina Cruz González is an art historian specializing in the colonial arts of the Americas. Her publications include “Seeing Double: Iterable Monuments and Imperial Power” (The Political Image/La Imagen Política, edited by Cuauhtemoc Medina, 2006) and “The Circulation of Flemish Iconography in Mexican Missions and the Creation of a New Visual Narrative, 1630-1830” (Boletin: the Journal for the California Mission Studies Association, vol. 25, No. 1, 2008).
González has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including a MacArthur Foundation Museum Fellowship and a Getty Research Fellowship.

Her current scholarship is focused on Franciscan image theory in the New World, including the relationship between medieval piety and colonial devotions, the circulation and propagation of sacred objects in the Americas, and the effect of mendicant patronage on religious ritual. She joined the OSU faculty in 2007 and teaches courses on Latin American art and religion. |
