The title of the symposium – Watteau peintre flamande – is taken from a publication on the artist of 1726. It is especially provocative applied to an artist regarded as the embodiment of a certain kind of Frenchness. The symposium examines other angles of approach to Watteau.The deadline for proposals is 1 November 2006.
