| Course contents : | Margaret of Austria's art patronage
Art from the Netherlands at the start of the 16th century.
Margaret of Austria (1480-1530) was a product of her time, which expected noble women to be obedient daughters and dutiful wives. Born of one of the most prestigious blood lines in Europe - she was the daughter of Maximilian of Habsburg and Mary of Burgundy - in her youth, Margaret became instrumental in the political ambitions of the rulers of the time, and particularly those of her own father. While she submitted to the requirements of her rank, often with little thanks, her intelligence and determination soon earned her increasing authority and she ultimately became on of the most powerful figures in Europe in the first part of the 16th century.
Appointed by her father as Governor and subsequently Regent of the Netherlands, and later retained in the post by her nephew Charles Quint, Margaret left a marked footprint on the political history of the time. She was also one of the most remarkable female art patrons. What motivated her in her artistic commissions? What use did she make of the works of art which she collected in her palace at Malines? What image of herself did she wish to convey through her collections and the monuments which she had built? Such questions will be addressed in this course, which will also broadly deal with the art of the Netherlands and the Principality of Liege at the time of Margaret of Austria.

http://www.schist.ulg.ac.be/cours.htm. Students will also attend three conferences given by experts from outside the University, relating to the themes of the course.
NB The participation of 'free' students will depend upon the practical possibilities (notably the number of seats available and balance between their numbers and regular students). |
