The Hague, Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD): 19 & 20 June 2019
Organized by ESNA (European Society for Nineteenth-Century Art), RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, The HagueandNWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research)
The exhibitionThe Dutch in Paris, which was on show in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdamandin the Petit Palais, Paris during the fall of 2017andspring of 2018 respectively, aimed to visualize the artistic exchange between DutchandFrench artists between 1789and1914. As part of a larger research project, set up by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, the exhibition generated so much response that ESNA, in collaboration with the RKDandNWO, decided to organize an international conference on the subject, focusing specifically on international as well as nationalandlocal points of encounterandhow they facilitated artistic exchange.
