From Icon to Art in the Netherlands

Baltimore/Washington,
November 8-12, 2006

Deadline: March 15, 2006

The Historians of Netherlandish Art will hold its conference in Baltimore
and Washington from November 8-12, 2006. The conference, "From Icon to Art
in the Netherlands," coincides with two important area exhibitions of
Netherlandish art, Prayers and Portraits: Unfolding the Netherlandish
Diptych, at the National Gallery of Art, and, at the Walters Art Museum, a
new installation of the Old Master galleries, based on a provocative,
contextual approach featuring the Collections of Art and Wonders belonging
to a 17th century Nobleman in Flanders and the Cabinet Galleries of a
Dutchman in the circle of William and Mary around 1700.

Sessions and workshops are in Baltimore; Washington will feature a preview
of the Diptychs exhibition.

A call for papers is open until March 15, 2006.
