"Cultural crossroads : artistic encounters between the Low Countries and Spain, 15th-17th Centuries".

Since 2020, the Instituto Moll (Madrid) and the Fondation Périer-D'Ieteren (Brussels) have been carrying out a research programme aimed at identifying and studying the art of the Southern Netherlands from the 15th to 17th centuries that is still preserved in Spanish collections today.

The aim of this study day, focusing on paintings, is to offer short contributions on a little-known Flemish painting or group of paintings (15th-17th century) preserved in Spain. Check the full program here <https://www.institutomoll.com/en/conferences-seminaries-congresses/29>
