Art history fans and scholars will want to check out Journal18 an online publication about eighteenth century art and culture, which debuted in the spring of 2016. Founded by art historians at the Getty Research Institute, New York University, and Queen Mary University of London, Journal18 describes itself as "an online, open access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the art and culture of the long eighteenth century form around the globe." Each biannual issue presents several articles related to a unifying theme. The current issue, Multilayered, features an examination by Harvard doctoral student David Pullins about a single 1760s painting that features the contributions of three artists; a consideration of graffiti created by eighteenth century artists by Charlotte Guichard of the National Centre for Scientific Research in France; and an analysis of the artistry of painted travel invitations from early nineteenth century India by NYU art historian Dipti Khera. The journal's second issue, Louvre Local, will be coming out soon. Visitors to this website will also want to check out Notes and Queries, a collection of regularly published shorter pieces.
