Dr Yuthika Sharma works on the art and intellectual history of South Asia in the early modern and colonial period. Her research looks at artistic agency and the transmission of visual knowledge in the long eighteenth century in the backdrop of shifting patterns of artistic production and cultural patronage from the courts to Company patrons, local elites and beyond. Her research has been supported by the Leverhulme Trust, The Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Paul Mellon Centre for British Art.
Before joining HoA, Yuthika worked in the Asia Department of the British Museum (2014-15). She was also AHRC Cultural Engagement fellow in the Department of History at UCL as part of the Leverhulme Trust funded project, The East India Company at Home (2013). Most recently, she was a collaborator for the Leverhulme Trust funded British Museum-Oxford University research network project, Empires of Faith (2017).
