Dr. Mary Ann Scott Honored
Dr. Mary Ann Scott taught Art History at DU from 1985 until her untimely death in 1988. She was a scholar of seventeenth century Dutch Art. She had written her Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Maryland on the Dutch genre painter Cornelis Bega, under the direction of Dr. Arthur Wheelock, who remains the Curator of Northern Baroque Art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Dr. Scott was completing a book on Bega when she died.
Recently Dr. Wheelock informed us that he contributed to an exhibition, “Cornelis Bega: Elegance and Uncouth Manners,” that opened in March 2012 in Aachen, Germany at the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, traveling onto the Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen in Berlin in July. The catalog of the exhibition is dedicated to Mary Ann because of her pioneering work on this little known artist. It is a great honor and tribute to her hard work locating his paintings in collections around the world. A special tribute was paid to her at the opening reception.
A small fund established in her memory within the School of Art and Art History awards promising students who choose to study the history of art. Donations in her honor are always
welcomed.
