Chromotope, The 19th century chromatic turn
Charlotte Ribeyrol’s main field of research is Victorian Hellenism and the reception of the colours of the past in 19th-century painting and literature.
In 2014-2016 she co-directed a major interdisciplinary project on chromatic materiality (POLYRE, IDEX Sorbonne Universités) with chemists and archeologists, which led to the publication of a collection of essays entitled The Colours of the Past in Victorian England(2016). Following her Marie Curie Fellowship (COPAST) at Trinity College, Oxford (2016-2018), she was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant to explore the 19thcentury ‘chromatic turn’.
Charlotte Ribeyrol is the Principal Investigator of CHROMOTOPE. She is also the lead curator of the exhibition on Victorian colour which will take place at the Ashmolean Museum in 2023.
