Rebirth of Netherlandish Painting in the Early 16th Century: Antwerp Mannerism and Its Discontents
When and Where
Description
The first years of the sixteenth century was a time when the old conventions of Netherlandish painting had finally run their course. The paradigms of Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden no longer held sway. Artists created new ways of painting, often with an eye to pan-European developments. Antwerp succeeded Bruges as the capital of the arts, extending its cultural reach to Italy, Northern France, and Southern Germany. The style termed “Antwerp Mannerism” typified these new approaches but it was complemented by other techniques in the Low Countries. This workshop brings together international scholars to discuss different manifestations of Antwerp Mannerism in sixteenth-century painting.
