Aller-Retour. Dutch artists in Paris 1789-1914
28/01/2023
By Mayken Jonkman, Senior Curator of Nineteenth-Century Art at the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History)
Mayken Jonkman, LLM, MA will take you on a journey to the nineteenth century in Paris. The city was home to a great number of art academies, exhibition venues and experienced art dealers. In a word, it was a paradise for artists looking for success. They travelled to Paris from all corners of the world, hoping to achieve a name for themselves and the immortality of their art. Yet this was no easy feat: however talented an artist may have been, more was required to make it big in Paris. Mayken Jonkman will provide an insight into the strategies of Dutch artists on their eventful path to Parisian success.
Talk given in: English
Join us at 4pm at the stand King Baudouin Foundation n°131
