Landscape art and the urbanisation of the United States

Professor Corbett, who is also Director of the Centre for Modern Studies, is one of only a small number of researchers outside the US working in this field.

His research in Washington is part of a wider project, supported by a Major Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust, exploring the relationship between city, landscape, and American painting between 1850 and 1930.
