Hannah Segrave, associate curator of European art to 1800, joined the Saint Louis Art Museum in 2023.
Prior to joining SLAM, Segrave was a lecturer of Italian studies and art history at The Ohio State University, where she taught both subject and language courses. A specialist in early modern art, her work often focuses on artistic self-fashioning, images of magic and the occult, and issues of gender and queerness.
She previously held curatorial positions and fellowships at numerous institutions, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Center for Advanced Studies in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, the Harvard Art Museums, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Cleveland Museum of Art, where she was the curator of the 2015 exhibition “The Novel and the Bizarre: Salvator Rosa’s Scenes of Witchcraft.”
Segrave earned a Mellon Foundation Curatorial Track Ph.D. and a master’s degree in Baroque art from the University of Delaware, and a B.A. in classics: Latin literature and language from Vassar College.
