Medici Residency Daniel Arasse

with the École française de Rome

Since 2001, the French Academy in Rome and the École française de Rome have been awarding 8 Daniel Arasse fellowships each year for missions in art history. Starting in 2021, these fellowships are intended for French-speaking doctoral and post-doctoral researchers (for a 1st post-doctoral fellowship) in art history wishing to travel to Rome to carry out research in Roman institutions and/or elsewhere in Italy on the modern and contemporary period. There is no nationality requirement. The grant amounts to 1,000 euros per month.


Residency requirements

Selection committee

The selection committee is made up of the Director of the École française de Rome, the Director of the Académie de France à Rome – Villa Médicis, the Director of Modern and Contemporary Studies at the École française de Rome and the Director of the Art History Department at the Académie de France à Rome – Villa Médicis.

The committee meets once a year in spring to select the winners for the following academic year. Candidates are notified of the results by the end of April at the latest.

 

Conditions of application

Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of the completed application form and the general presentation of the doctoral or post-doctoral research, specifying the need for the candidate to be present in Rome for one or two months. In the case of a two-month stay, the period must be consecutive.

The project, written in French, must be accompanied by an attestation (letter of introduction) from the research supervisor or a qualified personality, and must specify the method proposed for dealing with the given subject, as well as the research institutions where the documentation, archives and bibliography to be consulted can be found.

 

Post-residency activity report

Successful candidates must send an activity report within two months of the end of their residency to the Director of Studies for the Modern and Contemporary Periods at the École française de Rome and to the Chargé de mission for art history at the Académie de France in Rome – Villa Médicis. Sent in electronic format, this report will then be forwarded, in the case of doctoral students, to the thesis director by the Modern and Contemporary Periods section of the École française de Rome.
