Henry Keazor (born 4 March 1965) is a German
art historian. He is a professor of art history at Heidelberg University

Career
Keazor studied art history, German literature, musicology and philosophy at the Heidelberg University and at the
Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz before he then, from 2006 on, got the Heisenberg-fellowship of the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft: DFG). Eventually, in September 2008, he was appointed Chair of Art History at Saarland University
.
In September 2012, Keazor changed to the Institut für Europäische Kunstgeschichte of the Heidelberg University where he assumed the succession of Raphael Rosenberg, whose post, the professorship of early modern and contemporary art history, had been vacant since 2009. At the same time, he also began to in the executive board of the Arts Council of Heidelberg (Heidelberger Kunstverein). Since 2015, he is a full member of the
Heidelberg Academy of Sciences
(Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften).
In 2020 Keazor – among other for his publications on
Académie française, which is given to French and foreign personalities for outstanding services to the French language and literature.[2]
Main research focuses
Keazor’s research focuses on French and Italian Baroque Art as well as on Early Modern illustrations of the discovery of America (and here especially those published by the Belgian artist Theodor de Bry), modernist and contemporary architecture (here especially the architectural language of Jean Nouvel), the impact and reception of visual art in literature and media (such as for example in the TV-series
Hephaistos (Latin Hephaestus), art forgeries provided by the State Criminal Police Offices Berlin, München and Stuttgart from their evidence rooms are available for teaching. The goal is not only to sensitize students to forgeries they may encounter later in their careers, but also to use these objects, which (unlike works kept in museums) allow direct examination, to convey much of what is also relevant to art sold as originals (style, painting technique, provenance, etc.).[5]
