Ekaterina Koposova

Ekaterina Koposova studies the political instrumentalization of art in early modern Europe. Her dissertation examines the Franco-Dutch War (1672-1678) as an intermedial and transregional phenomenon.

Between 2021 and 2023, Ekaterina was one of four student curators of the exhibition Thinking Small: Dutch Art to Scale (Yale University Art Gallery and Boston Museum of Fine Arts, 2023). Her contribution to the accompanying brochure, “Miniaturizing the Distant,” explores how Dutch artists transformed the spectacle of landscape and military power into intimate objects.

After graduating summa cum laude from Emory University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History, Ekaterina received the Bobby Jones Scholarship to pursue a Master of Letters in Art History at the University of St. Andrews, which she completed in 2018. Her doctoral research has been supported by the MacMillan Center and the Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship, the Newberry Library, the Belgian American Educational Foundation (BAEF), the Rubenshuis, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA).
