CODART, Dutch and Flemish art in museums worldwide

Registration Opened for the ‘Symposium for the Study of Underdrawing and Technology in Painting’ (Bruges, 28-30 March 2022)

Registration for the 22nd ‘Symposium for the Study of Underdrawing and Technology in Painting’ has opened. The international and interdisciplinary symposium, organized by Musea Brugge and the Université Catholique de Louvain, takes place in Bruges from 28 to 30 March 2022

The theme of next year’s symposium is ‘Alla Maniera: technical art history and the meaning of style in fifteenth to seventeenth century painting’. The symposium focuses on how technical research can provide additional insights or challenges concerning the style of an individual painter, a workshop or a group of painters. Stylistic similarities might indicate cultural, social, geographical or chronological connections in paintings, drawings, prints, applied arts, etc. as well as across artistic media.

The ‘Symposium for the Study of Underdrawing and Technology in Painting’ is alternately organized by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (Brussels), its Centre for the Study of the Flemish Primitives, Illuminare (Centre for the Study of Medieval Art, KU Leuven), UCL (Louvain-la-Neuve) and Musea Brugge and its Flemish research center for the arts in the Burgundian Netherlands.

The language of the symposium is English. The papers will be published by Peeters Publishers. See the Musea Brugge website for more information and to register.
