Catherine Scallen is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor Emerita in the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio, where she taught from 1995 to 2022, offering courses on art in France, Italy, Germany, and the Low Countries from 1400 to 1800. Her earlier scholarship focused on the art of the Dutch painter and printmaker Rembrandt van Rijn, including the importance of Italian Renaissance art as a model for his own work. Catherine has recently published on the role of art dealers in shaping major American collections at the turn of the 20th century through promoting the sale of Italian and Dutch paintings. She produced two courses for The Great Courses, Art of the Northern Renaissance and Museum Masterpieces: The National Gallery, London; and has lectured at museums and universities across the United States. A regular faculty participant in CWRU’s Senior Scholars adult education program, Catherine has offered numerous courses that complement special exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art. As a seasoned traveler to western Europe, she has served as a faculty lecturer for groups from Princeton University, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and CWRU.
