Miles Fletcher is an art historian and PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge, specialising in the visual culture of Early Modern England and the Low Countries. His work centres on the relationship between art and knowledge, particularly how the making and viewing of art could serve as a method of learning about the wider world. He is currently writing a dissertation on this topic, examining the intersection of early-modern landscape art, natural philosophy, and the mechanical sciences.
Miles holds a BA from the Courtauld Institute of Art and an MA from the Warburg Institute, where he won a scholarship in 2023 and was trained in part by the National Gallery, London. In May-June 2025, he was a visiting scholar at the Rubenshuis, Antwerp, and has since given talks in Oxford and Antwerp on his doctoral research. Miles also supervises undergraduates and occasionally lectures in the Department of History of Art at Cambridge. His PhD is supervised by Professor Alexander Marr and is generously funded by a Lisa Pan – Ibn Battutah Studentship.
