Maryan Ainsworth

Maryan Ainsworth studied at Oberlin College (BA and MA) and Yale (PhD). Both Oberlin and Yale have extraordinary art museums, where Maryan first learned the importance of first-hand study of art objects. She joined The Met's staff in 1977 and has specialized in an interdisciplinary approach, combining art-historical issues with the technical examination of Northern Renaissance paintings. Her publications and exhibitions include monographic studies on Petrus Christus, Gerard David, Jan Gossart, and Pieter Coecke van Aelst, as well as The Met's early German paintings. Maryan has taught at Barnard College; as the Janson-La Palme Visiting Professor, Princeton (2017); and the Kress-Beinecke Professor, CASVA, National Gallery of Art (2018–19).
