Summer Course

Study Dutch Art Where It Was Made!
Introduction to the Study of 17th-Century Dutch Art in the Netherlands
15 august - 25 august 2006, Amsterdam

Organized by the Amsterdam/Maastricht Summer University (AMSU) in
association with The Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), The
Hague, and The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

The aim of this intensive 10-days course is to give an in-depth
introduction to the study of 17th-century Dutch paintings, drawings and
prints.
Participants will gain knowledge on how to use the research facilities
available in the Netherlands and will visit the most important collections
of Dutch art under the expert guidance of museum curators and other
specialists.
A series of lectures and workshops focussing on specific topics and
research methods will be given by prominent researchers from Dutch
universities and museums. During the programme there will be ample
opportunity for discussion, if possible in front of the original works of
art, and the participants are offered the opportunity to build up a
network of contacts with scholars, curators and institutes in the
Netherlands which may facilitate their future study of Dutch art.

Target group
The course is primarily intended for graduate students and professional
art historians specialising in the field of Dutch art. Candidates will be
selected on the basis of their detailed curriculum vitae and letter of
motivation.
