Barteet’s research focuses on Early Modern Art and Architecture in Latin America and Europe. He explores the relationships between the architecture and the urban form, maps and urban environments, and heraldic imagery and legislative materials, and investigates how these various contexts relate to the formation of identities, whether state, individual, gendered, or indigenous.

His teaching reflects his research interest as his courses analyse the visual cultures of pre-Columbian Americas, Hispanic America, and Early Modern Europe, as well as graduate seminars on the city, monuments, and race and gender.
