Jamie Gabbarelli, a native of Assisi, Italy (and a dual Italian and British national), is a graduate of Oxford University, and holds an MA from the Warburg Institute in London, and a PhD in History of Art and Renaissance Studies from Yale University.

From 2015 to 2017 he was the Andrew W. Mellon postdoctoral curatorial fellow in Old Master Prints at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

He is currently the assistant curator of prints, drawings, and photographs at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, in Providence, Rhode Island.

He has published articles on Renaissance printmaking in Print Quarterly, Delineavit & Sculpsit, the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, and the Yale University Art Gallery Bulletin. A forthcoming article will be published in the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes in fall 2017.
