Within the framework of the exhibition Signed, Jan R. A Renaissance master rediscovered, M – Museum Leuven is organising a one-day symposium in which several experts will present their current research on early sixteenth-century art in Leuven.
A series of lectures will shed light on new findings on two Leuven-based painters: the rediscovered master Jan Rombouts and Albrecht Bouts. There will also be an opportunity to visit the exhibition and to discuss the works of art with the experts.
