John E. Moore
John E. Moore (1985 Fellow) earned a Ph.D. in Fine Arts at Harvard University and, since 1989, has taught a wide range of courses on European art and architecture at Smith College. He has published an article on The Monument, a 202-foot Portland stone column designed and built (1671–77) by Sir Christopher Wren to commemorate the Great Fire of London; several articles on festivals (and related ephemeral designs) and printmaking in 18th-century Rome; and a study of how the learned Neapolitan secretary of state Bernardo Tanucci (1698-1783) oversaw the editorial development, publication and initial distribution of the Antichità di Ercolano esposte, lavish folio volumes that illustrate objects excavated at sites on the Bay of Naples. Moore's most recent article investigates an etched map-view of Rome by Giuseppe Vasi (1710-82) and will soon appear in the Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome. His research has been supported by fellowships or grants at the American Academy in Rome, the Getty Institute (in Los Angeles), and the Herzog August Bibliothek (in Wolfenbüttel).
