Dr Susan Russell, Assistant Director, is currently researching a number of projects including the influence of antiquarian studies on Roman art and architecture during the reign of Pope Innocent X, Pamphilj (1644-55), as well as studying the art patronage of the Pamphilj family. She is also researching the Roman activity of the Dutch-Italianate landscape painter and printmaker, Herman van Swanevelt (1603-1655), and his role in the development of landscape painting in seventeenth-century Rome.

The BSR supports the research of individual fellows who present their work formally as lectures, or informally to scholars and residents.
