Metropolitan Museum of Art - Theodore Rousseau Fellowship

Intended to develop the skills of connoisseurship by supporting firsthand examination of paintings in major European collections rather than library research, Theodore Rousseau Fellowships are awarded for the training of students whose goal is to enter museums as curators of painting. Applicants should have been enrolled for at least one year in an advanced degree program in the field of art history. Applicants for this fellowship apply under the broader 'Fellowship in History of Art and Visual Culture" and indicate preference towards the Theodore Rousseau Fellowship
