Oana Stan
Oana is an independent art historian specializing in early modern Dutch art and Italian Old Masters. She graduated from the Renaissance Studies programme at Utrecht University with a thesis about institutional practices surrounding women Old Masters in Dutch and Flemish museums. She has worked as assistant editor and researcher at the Dutch Institute for Art History (RKD, The Hague), editing the most recent Frans Hals catalogue raisonné. The digital monograph was launched in July 2024 and is titled 'Frans Hals and His Workshop.' Since then, Oana has been researching painted copies after Frans Hals and will soon turn this project into a doctoral proposal.
