Dr. Monteyne's interests range from early modern art and print culture to the historiography and methodology of art history, as well as twentieth-century art and critical theory. Dr. Monteyne has been the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including a Governor General of Canada's medal for his Master's thesis, and postdoctoral fellowships from the Paul Mellon Center for Studies in British Art and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the latter of which he undertook at the Courtauld Institute in London. He was a summer researcher at the Huntington Library with support from an Andrew Mellon fellowship and a William Keck Fellowship for Junior Faculty, and a Residential Fellow at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven. The Fine Arts, Humanities, and Social Science Initiative of Stony Brook University has also supported his research. He has published on seventeenth-century painting and print culture, twentieth-century art, contemporary independent magazine culture, and American popular imagery in such international journals as Art History, and Oxford Art Journal as well as in edited volumes published by Bis/Gingko/Thames and Hudson and Nouveau Monde Editions. His first book, The Printed Image in Early Modern London: Urban Space, Visual Representation, and Social Exchange, was published by Ashgate in 2007. He is currently near completion of a second book, From the Still-Life to the Screen: Print Culture and Display in Eighteenth-Century London. Dr. Monteyne teaches Northern Renaissance Art, Seventeenth Century Art and Architecture of Italy and Spain, Northern Baroque Art and Architecture, and Historiography and Methodologies of Art History at the undergraduate level, and recent Graduate Seminars include: The Visual Culture of Knowledge: Early Modern Art and Science; Thresholds of Difference: Anxious Points of Contact in Early Modern Visual Culture; The Grotesque: Persistence of a Cultural Form; The Ecstasy of Violence: Pain and Pleasure in Early Modern Visual Culture; Print and Graphic Culture 1500-1960; Secular art and the Market: the minor genres in Europe 16th-18th century; and Historiography and Methodologies of Art History and Visual Culture.
