Lecture: Michael Kwakkelstein
From the early sixteenth century an increasing number of artists from the Low Countries travelled to Italy, especially Rome, to study the much praised antiquities as well as the latest developments in Italian Renaissance art. The aim of this lecture is to provide an overview of the most important Netherlandish artists and their different and changing responses to the antique. Dr Kwakkelstein is Director of the Dutch University Institute for Art History in Florence.
