Its target audience includes the university community: researchers, scholars, and professionals in the field of Art History, as well as all individuals interested in the journal’s thematic scope. Imafronte is an annual publication.
The journal publishes original research articles on any aspect of Art History in its various dimensions: architecture, sculpture, painting, engraving, design, mass media imagery, video, illustration, manuscript illumination, glyptics, numismatics, medal art, performing arts, or any other field in which the image constitutes the object of study. Since visual culture requires an interdisciplinary approach, Art History may intersect with related disciplines such as History, Archaeology, Geography, and Fine Arts.
