Gero Seelig (born 1960) is a German art historian and curator based in Schwerin, Germany. He is the Old Masters Curator at the Staatliches Museum Schwerin, in Schwerin, where he has worked since 2001.[1] He is specialized in German and Dutch artists from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and has published extensively on prints, drawings, and paintings from these periods.[2][3]

Research and Career

[edit]

Seelig has played a crucial role in several significant exhibitions, such as "Medusa’s Menagerie," which highlighted the works of Otto Marseus van Schrieck, and "Crossroads: Frankfurt am Main as Market for Northern Art 1500-1800," where he contributed on the impact of artists like Jost Amman.[4][5]

His research has also delved into the acquisition practices of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin court, bringing to light the historical context and provenance of numerous artworks.[6]

Gero Seelig's research and curatorial work often intersects with unique historical events and figures, such as his exploration of the 1749 presentation of the rhinoceros Clara at the Palace of Versailles, which he discussed in a 2024 episode of WDR's Zeitzeichen program.[7][8]
