Exposition : “Reality and Imagination: Rembrandt and the Jews in the Dutch Republic”, Boston, Museum of Fine Arts, du 15 décembre 2025 au 1er décembre 2026

In the seventeenth century, Jews played a critical role in the vibrant visual culture of the Dutch Republic—as patrons, collectors, and subjects of art, particularly in the work of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) and his circle. Living in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jewish district, Rembrandt received commissions from his Jewish neighbors, incorporated them into biblical scenes, and depicted them in character studies. Organized by the MFA’s Center for Netherlandish Art in collaboration with a seminar...

Cycle de séminaires : “The Byzantine World: The Arts in the East Roman Empire from the Fourth to the Fifteenth Centuries”, du 14 au 18 juillet 2025

From the transformation of the Roman Empire in the late third century CE to the European discovery of the Americas in the fifteenth century, Byzantium mattered, and its legacy still matters today. The socio-political entity that developed from the foundation of Constantinople in 330 by Constantine the Great and ended with Constantine XI in 1453 is central to the history of the Eurasian and African continents and determined their societies, religions, cultures. This course will...

Colloque : “Body Hair in Early Modern Visual Culture”, Florence, Nederlands Interuniversitair Kunsthistorisch Instituut (NIKI), le 24 et 25 octobre 2025, date limite le 1er avril 2025

Hirsute, Downy, Hairless. Meanings and Forms of Body Hair in Early Modern Visual Culture. While long overlooked in art historical studies, over the past two decades body hair has emerged as a significant field of research, offering new perspectives on Early Modern visual culture. The presence or absence of body hair serves as an indicator of aesthetic (or artistic) preferences and prevailing social norms specific to certain periods and locations, revealing complex intersections between art...

Parution : « Indecent Bodies in Early Modern Visual Culture », Amsterdam University Press, 2022

The life-like depiction of the body became a central interest and defining characteristic of the European Early Modern period that coincided with the establishment of which images of the body were to be considered ‘decent’ and representable, and which disapproved, censored, or prohibited. Simultaneously, artists and the public became increasingly interested in the depiction of specific body parts or excretions. This book explores the concept of indecency and its relation to the human body across...

Colloque : « Indeterminacy in Netherlandish Visual Arts and Culture (1400-1800) », HNA conference, Amsterdam, 2 juin 2022

The art of the Netherlands in the early modern period is full of works whose meaning is not revealed at first glance, or whose interpretations by art historians have revealed all the ambiguity. Just think of Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Quinten Massys’ Money Changer and his Wife or Johannes Vermeer’s Art of Painting to name only a few famous examples which have been deciphered by scholars in turn from a moralizing, allegorical, spiritual or...
