Works and research
His publications include: Images of Nepotism: The Painted Ceilings of Palazzo Barberini (Princeton, 1991) and Architecture for the Shroud: Relic and Ritual in Turin (Chicago, 2003). He has also co-authored The University of Iowa Guide to Campus Architecture (Iowa City, 2006). His articles have appeared in The Art Bulletin, The Burlington Magazine, "Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Storia dell’Arte, Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, and Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.
Scott is interested in the meaning of art in a historical context, especially in its political, social, and economic manifestations. . Along with historical and social circumstances, he tries to make sense of the image by intently studying the iconography of the image along with its visual properties.
Erwin Panofsky, Ernst Gombrich, and Francis Haskell were strong formative influences. Scott's earliest publications, including his first book, Images of Nepotism make this influence apparent. Later in his career, patronage and audience begin to be of concern, but social history is still his dominant methodological bias. Scott, like many art historians, is committed to the essential role of archival research and the relentless visual analysis of the image; this strength for visual analysis is especially apparent in his work.
