Lucy-Anne Hunt is Professor Emerita in MIRIAD (the Manchester Institute for Research & Innovation in Art & Design) at Manchester Metropolitan University. She previously held the posts of Head of the Department of History of Art & Design (1998-2009) and Head of the Department of Art (2009-2011).
Her research interests focus on cross-cultural analysis between Byzantine and Islamic, and Christian-Muslim art and culture in the medieval Mediterranean world. This is undertaken through the study of Byzantine, Eastern Christian and ‘Crusader’ art, as well as East-West cultural relations. Her current work is concerned with case studies of wallpainting, icons, and illustrated manuscripts. Hybridity, images of identity and the “Other” in medieval Mediterranean art are amongst the main issues considered. The art of Coptic Egypt and medieval Syria and Lebanon are amongst her ongoing concerns.
She is a member of MIRIAD’s Visual Culture research group.
