Jack Freiberg received his doctorate from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University and has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, fellow of the American Academy in Rome, and Samuel H. Kress Foundation Fellow at the Bibliotheca Hertziana, Rome.
Dr. Freiberg is currently exploring the art patronage of the Spanish Monarchs in Rome around 1500 with a focus on Bramante's Tempietto. This forms part of a larger project concerning the activities of foreign communities in the papal city. He teaches undergraduate courses in Italian Renaissance art and architecture, and graduate seminars on Donatello, Michelangelo, Vasari, court culture, and the Roman Renaissance.
