Caroline Fowler is Starr Director of the Research and Academic Program at the Clark Art Institute and a lecturer in Art History at Williams College. A scholar of early-modern art (1400–1800), her work focuses on European art and its intersections with histories of early capital, trade, enslavement, and the formation of art history as a discipline. Her most recent book, Slavery and the Invention of Dutch Art (Duke University Press, 2025), examines the foundational role of the transatlantic slave trade in seventeenth-century Dutch art.
