Content
The course is structured around chronological and thematic approaches to the history of painting in the former Low Countries. Several themes will be studied in the lecture hall, at conferences and on guided visits: the concepts of realism and of symbolism, the emergence of genres (the portrait, landscape, still life), the historiography and critical fortunes of the Northern 'schools', issues relating to the frame of the representation, etc. Special attention will also be paid to setting works in their original display context, to their reception and to their uses in the practices (devotional, ritual, or other) which they lie at the heart of.
Teaching methods
The course will be based on lectures by the teacher or by guest speakers. There may be some field trips and also presentations of papers by students.
Evaluation methods
Oral examination for which the student will have some preparation time (and/or, possibly, depending on the number of students, an individual assignment).
