Frederica Van Dam studied Art History at Ghent University and has been the curator of Old Masters at the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) since 2017. She co-curated the widely acclaimed 2020 exhibition ‘Van Eyck. An Optical Revolution’ and was the driving force behind the first monographic exhibition on the Flemish Caravaggist Theodoor Rombouts (1597-1637), along with an accompanying book (2023). She is currently preparing an exhibition on women artists in the Low Countries (1600-1750) with the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington D.C.

Frederica obtained a PhD in Art History researching Flemish painters in England in the Early Modern period, and within this context, published a book on a painter and poet from Ghent, Lucas d’Heere (1534-1584) during his time in England. The focus of her expertise is Early Modern painting (1500-1620), specifically Anglo-Flemish portraiture, technical art history, connoisseurship and Southern Netherlandish Humanism in the Renaissance.
