Pierre Tchekhoff holds a PhD in Art History from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. His dissertation, defended in 2024 under the supervision of Professor Philippe Morel, is entitled Magic and Female Magicians in Early Modern Art: Sabbat, Necromancy, and the Culture of Magic. He has published extensively on the visual culture of magic and demonological iconography, and in 2024 he was awarded the prestigious Panofsky Fellowship at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (Z.I.) in Munich.
His recent publications include an essay published by Brepols in the volume Physique de l’Incarnation, entitled “The Flesh and Voice of the Spectre: Pictorial Interpretations of Samuel’s Shadow.”
He is currently an A.T.E.R. in Modern Art History at the University of Lille and serves as a scientific advisor for an exhibition currently on view at the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Daoulas devoted to the figure of the witch. The exhibition brings together visual culture, the history of demonology, and an ethnological perspective.
