Hannah McCoy
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Hannah (Han) McCoy has graduated from Temple University with a major in Art History and a minor in History. They are currently working in the European Painting Department as a second year Mellon Fellow at the Philadelphia Museum Art with mentor Matthew Affron, the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art and Jennifer Thompson, The Gloria and Jack Drosdick Curator of European Painting and Sculpture. Their most notable accomplishment during the course of their fellowship thus far has been researching the Portrait of Philip Stanhope by Pompeo Batoni and completing a wall label which is now on display. In the future, McCoy intends to pursue more curatorial fellowship work before returning to school for their Master’s degree. Through curation and art history, McCoy hopes to redefine the canon by including narratives of artists of color during the 16th and 17th centuries with the intent to inspire younger art historians of color, while also creating a more inclusive space within the art field.
