I'm beginning to get application materials together, have plans to take the GRE within the next month or so, etc., but I've realized that I have little guidance as to what programs I should apply to.

I'm still waiting for proof that you are indeed a genius of English literature. Post your SoP and writing sample.

And if I wasn't the Queen of Spain, I might have done paleontology. Ah well, you win some, you lose some.

I'm really confused to some of the things you are saying and hopefully you can clear these up for me so I can give you the best possible advice

Did I really put German expressionism for Klimt? wow. I meant German/Austrian Symbolism.

I'll follow the handy numbering in my response

Which Renaissance? Italian? Northern? I used Klimt as an example, but you should do the same thing with that period as well. Your best bet is to try and find a professor who does have the same interests as you do. What aspect of material culture in the Renaissance are you into? Textiles? The Patron-Artist relationship? Etc? You don't have to tell me exactly what you want to study but I'll give you an example why its important to know what you want to do; I'll do so with what I am interested in

Bard's only useful if you are into contemporary art (1960s-present).
