Dr. Erin Piñon is an art historian specializing in early modern Armenian book arts, spanning cultural networks from Europe to Asia. Her dissertation, The Illuminated Haysmawurk‘: Ottoman-Armenian Painting and Confessionalism in the Age of Print (Princeton, 2024), explored seventeenth-century Ottoman-Armenian manuscript art, book culture, translation, and ritual practices across Istanbul, Aleppo, and Isfahan. Piñon’s research on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century visual and material culture has appeared in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s publications, the Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association, West 86th Street, and the Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies, to cite a few. Her ongoing work examines the aesthetics of the Armenian diasporic condition and print culture between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.
