JournalThe Journal of the Walters Art Museum, an annual (ISSN 0083-7156), is the oldest continuously published museum journal in the United States. We welcome contributions on all aspects of art history; contributions deriving from or related to the museum’s collection are preferred, but others will be considered as well. In addition to full-length articles, short notes are also published. The preferred language is English, but contributions in other non-western European languages will be considered. Articles in languages other than English must be accompanied by an English summary that adequately describes the arguments and evidence presented, including references to illustrations.
