Made in the Netherlands. Art from the 15th and 16th Centuries
The aim of this course of the Amsterdam-Maastrich Summer University is to give an in-depth introduction to the study of Netherlandish art of the 15th and 16th centuries with a focus on paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture. Participants will gain knowledge on how to use the research facilities available in The Netherlands and will visit the most important collections and monuments of Netherlandish art under the expert guidance of museum curators and other specialists.
A series of lectures, presentations and excursions with prominent scholars and museum professionals will provide a comprehensive overview of current Dutch research projects and methodologies. Special attention will be given to combining art-historical research and the technical examination of works of art. A number of the sessions have been designed to encourage discussion between the speakers and the course participants. There will be ample opportunity for discussion in front of the original works of art. Moreover, the participants are offered the possibility to build up a network of contacts with scholars and curators in The Netherlands.
This summer course of the Amsterdam-Maastrich Summer University is organised in association with the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History), the Rijksmuseum and CODART (Curators of Dutch and Flemish Art).
