Hans Joris Van Miegroet (1953 – February 9, 2024) was a Belgian and American art historian and educator. Primarily a scholar of the art market in Europe, Van Miegroet was professor of Art and Art History at Duke University.
Van Miegroet was born in 1953[1] and graduated from the University of Ghent with a Master of Arts in Art History in 1983, and then moved to the United States to earn a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1988. His master's thesis was on the artist Konrad Witz, and he wrote a doctoral dissertation on Gerard David, supervised by Burr E. Wallen.[2] In that year, Van Miegroet was hired as Assistant Professor of Art and Art History at Duke University, and in 1994, was promoted to Associate Professor.[3] In 2005, he was elevated to full Professor. In the following year, Van Miegroet became chair of the art history department, a post that he held until 2014.[4] He died on February 9, 2024, in a single-vehicle car crash near the Duke University campus.[5]
