Ivana Čapeta Rakić earned her degree in Conservation and Restoration, specializing in the conservation and restoration of easel paintings and polychrome wooden sculpture, from the Arts Academy of the University of Split. She pursued her doctoral studies in Art History at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, where she defended her PhD dissertation in 2011 under the title Works of the Santa Croce Workshop on the Eastern Adriatic Coast.
For her outstanding academic achievements, she received the Dean’s Award, and as a doctoral student she was awarded a scholarship for excellence in the humanities by the Rotary Club Split.
During the 2011/2012 academic year, together with her colleague Ivana Meštrov, she founded Kolosijek H6, an extracurricular programme within the Department of Art History. Through this initiative, she worked with students on the conception and installation of exhibitions as well as on the writing and publication of professional reviews and art criticism. The broader project, FFWD – Tuesdays at the Gallery, within which Kolosijek H6 operated, received a special award from the newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija for its outstanding contribution to the arts.
Within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme, she has delivered lectures at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana; the Faculty of Geography and History of the National Distance Education University (UNED) in Madrid; and the University of Macerata. Through the same programme, she also undertook professional training at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Granada.
She has been awarded several research fellowships that enabled repeated research stays at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice and the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence.
Her research focuses on the visual arts of the late medieval and early modern periods, with particular emphasis on iconography and iconology. She has published numerous scholarly and professional articles in Croatian and international journals and edited volumes. She is the author of two monographs, served as guest editor of volume 15 of the journal IKON, and, together with Giuseppe Capriotti (University of Macerata), co-edited a scholarly volume published by Brepols. To date, she has published 45 scholarly and professional contributions in national and international publications.
In recognition of her scholarly achievements, she received the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Award of the University of Split in 2021. In 2025, she was awarded the Dean’s Special Award for her contribution to the COST Action IS-LE project, which received the prestigious Europa Nostra Award in the Research category.
She regularly presents the results of her research at international and national scholarly conferences.
