Since her dissertation (Marburg 1982) on the tomb paintings of Tarquinia, supervised by Professor Bernard Andreae, the classical archaeologist Prof. Dr. Cornelia Weber-Lehmann has devoted herself to researching Etruscan art and its documentation and reception. The photo shows her on a sunny spring day preparing a 3D image of the famous Tomba dell'Orco in Tarquinia (4th century BC).

Before taking over as director of the Museum of Antiquities in the Art Collections of the Ruhr University Bochum in 1998, she worked at the German Archaeological Institute in Rome and at the Albert Ludwig University in Freiburg. Since her retirement in 2018, she has been one of those who (can) commute between Germany and Italy/Rome.
