Anne Hagopian

Anne Hagopian van Buren (1927 – October 13, 2008) was art historian who studied 14th- and 15th-century Netherlandish art. She attended and graduated from Radcliffe College. As an undergraduate student, she did computing work at the Harvard College Observatory. She earned a Ph.D. in art history from Bryn Mawr College and taught at Tufts University from 1975 to 1984. After graduating, she left astronomy to marry theologian Paul van Buren and have four children. She is remembered as a prominent expert in 14th and 15th Netherlandish art who proudly used her scientific training to enhance her art history research.

Hagopian's article "Reality and Literary Romance in the Park of Hesdin" explores the literary origins of motifs found in Robert d'Artois's garden at Hesdin. Hagopian wrote that "the imagery from French romances is realized at Hesdin".
