Register for one or all four course sessions here: https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/flemish-art-contextIn the seventeenth century, following upon the "discovery" of the Americas in the 1500s, European artists, patrons, and viewers found themselves in an exciting—and disconcerting—wave of globalization. Whether due to the solidification of international trading routes, European countries’ relentless pursuit of colonialism, and/or a desire for religious dominance, Flemish and European artists in the 1600s operated in a world marked by encounters with the unknown.
Led by Rebecca Tucker, a professor of art at Colorado College, participants will examine through case studies how European artists imagined and exploited the opportunities of a global marketplace for art. We’ll also consider the ways that European artworks served and furthered political, social, and religious ideologies in the tumultuous "Golden Age" of the seventeenth century.
