Ariane van Suchtelen (born July 12, 1962, in Hengelo, Overijssel) is a Dutch art historian and museum curator, currently at the Mauritshuis.[1] [2]

Biography

Van Suchtelen is a member of the noble branch of the Van Suchtelen family and a daughter of jhr Mr Jan Peter van Suchtelen (1916–1997) and Machteld van Hattum (1928). She is also the sister of visual artist Anna van Suchtelen.[3] [4]

Van Suchtelen studied art history at the University of Groningen and subsequently became a museum curator at the Mauritshuis in The Hague. She specializes in sixteenth- and seventeenth century painters from the Dutch Golden Age. Her first contribution was to the publication Renaissance and Reformation and the Art in the Northern Netherlands in 1986. For the major exhibition on Johannes Vermeer in 1996, she prepared the accompanying booklet.

As a curator and collaborator, she has organized numerous exhibitions and publications for the Mauritshuis, and has published many articles and books on art from the Dutch Golden Age. She has also published extensively on genre paintings in the collection of the Mauritshuis.[5] [6]

In 2013, she wrote the text for the special collection of family portraits of the seventeenth-century merchant Willem Craeyvanger and his family.

In 2015 she curated an exhibition on self portraits of painters, and authored the catalog for a Mauritshuis exhibition entitled Dutch Self-Portraits from the Golden Age.[7] The exhibition was well received and successful in its ambitions to merge the museum's programming with the wider cultural trends then happening in popular global culture.[8] [9]

Van Suchtelen also curated the exhibition "In Full Bloom," which celebrated Dutch and Flemish flower still lifes and highlighted the contributions of female artists in this genre.[10] [11] She is well known for her work to make art accessible and engaging in new ways in museums, such as with the 2021 exhibition "Fleeting – Scents in Colour" about the sense of smell in seventeenth-century paintings, which allowed visitors to experience historical smells that accompanied the paintings on display at the exhibition.[12] [13]
