Learning outcomes
The lectures will cover a broad period of more than two centuries in which rich trading cities with important centres of painting (Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Brussel and later Amsterdam, Haarlem and Leyden) were established and developed on a relatively small territory in the west of the European continent. The lectures will successively present the work of the major figures of Dutch painting from early Dutch realism to the early 17th century. In addition to the purely art-historical aspects of painting, the syllabus will also cover aspects of a cultural-historical nature.
