Content and teaching methods

This course tries to define the cultural identity or identities of the countries concerned:

- The Civilisation of Dutch-Speaking Europe (1335): the cultural history of Flanders and the Netherlands. Particular attention will be paid to the major currents in Flemish and Dutch painting, from the Flemish Primitive painters to Cobra.

The major artistic movements, such as the Flemish Primitive painters, the 17th century Dutch artists, the Flemish Baroque, the Hague School, the Flemish expressionists, 'The Style' and Cobra will be dealt with in more detail.
