Summer Course Dutch Art of the Golden Age: Sources and Perspectives

This summer from the 16th of August until the 27th of August the AMSU in
association with the RKD and Codart (International Council of Curators of
Dutch and Flemish Art), The Hague, and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam organises a
summer course entitled: Dutch Art of the Golden Age: Sources and Perspectives.
The aim of this intensive 10-day course is to give an in-depth introduction
to the study of 17th-century Dutch art in the Netherlands with a focus on
paintings, drawings and prints. Participants will gain knowledge on how to
use research facilities as well as visit important museum collections of
Dutch art in the Netherlands.

A series of lectures and workshops by prominent scholars and curators will
provide a comprehensive overview of current Dutch research projects and
methodologies. 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 while viewing original works of art. The
workshops will allow participants to conduct research themselves, thereby
providing hands-on experience with source materials. The participants are
also offered the opportunity to build up a network of contacts with scholars
and curators in the Netherlands which may facilitate their future study of
Dutch art.
Target group

historians specialising in the field of 17th-century Dutch art. The ability
