It would appear that ‘Flemish Baroque’ has come to be
regarded as synonymous with ‘Antwerp Baroque’. The
aim of this symposium on art and art production in Brussels
in the period 1600−1800 is to reconsider the art-historical
position of Brussels as a major hub of activity and
place of residence for courtiers and artists alike. Attention
will focus on matters as diverse as literature, music,
housing, and the guild system, besides which aspects
of the art trade, style differentiation and case studies
relating to individual artists will be discussed. In the
seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the Habsburg
Court was viewed as the supreme creative centre,
where systems of symbols were forged and propagated
that were designed to display both the artist’s craftsmanship
and the ruler’s piety.
Date and venue information:
- Thursday, December 9, 2010: Leuven, Faculty of Arts, Justus Lipsiuszaal
- Friday, December 10, 2010: Brussels, Royal Museum of Fine Arts,Small Auditorium
