Jon Rachmani | Editor

Jon Rachmani is a writer and an English professor at Hunter College. His relationship with the Met goes back to his childhood, when the museum's Northern Renaissance portraits gave him a new vocabulary for thinking about human personality. Today, his favorite galleries in the Met are the Siena rooms in the Robert Leman Collection, especially for the works of Simone Martini, Sassetta, and Sano di Pietro. He is currently writing a novel about an art historian whose relationship with the works of the past becomes fractured as technology blurs the categories of object and image.
