Register for one or all four course sessions here: https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/flemish-art-contextIn this introductory lecture, Katharina Van Cauteren, Chief of Staff of The Phoebus Foundation and curator of the exhibition "Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks" will take the audience on a journey across more than three centuries of Flemish art and history.
At the end of the Middle Ages, the small patch of land that we now call "Flanders" was the center of the world. Cities such as Antwerp, Bruges, and Ghent were the New York, London, and Hong Kong of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. An art and luxury market soon emerged here that had no equal anywhere else North of the Alps. Van Cauteren will tell this exceptional story through the masterpieces of artists from the Southern Netherlands such as Hans Memling and Quinten Metsys, Jan Gossaert, Peter Paul Rubens, Antoon Van Dyck, and Jacob Jordaens.
