Professor Barbara Lane has published widely in fifteenth-century Netherlandish painting, illuminated manuscripts, and printed books. She taught at the University of Maryland and Rutgers University before joining the faculty at Queens College in 1979, and the Graduate Center in 2000. She received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for College Teachers and was a Research Associate at UCLA. She has chaired four sessions at CAA meetings. Her numerous articles have appeared in Art Bulletin, Oud-Holland, Simiolus, and elsewhere.
