Dr Matko Marušić holds a PhD in Medieval Studies from the University of Zagreb (2019). His work centres on late medieval and early modern art and devotional culture across the wider Adriatic region, with an emphasis on the analysis of archival sources on the lost works of art. He is also interested in the intersections between traditional approaches to research of art, such as connoisseurship, and the technical examination of objects. He became a member of the Art&Inequality project in the mid 2025 and is currently working on testaments kept in the State Archives in Dubrovnik (1300–1500).
