Overview
Programme overview
Experience the unique atmosphere of historic venues like the Ruusbroec Institute Library and Museum Plantin-Moretus, complemented by practical demonstrations in printing and etching. This is your chance to gain unparalleled insights and engage with rare materials in the heart of Europe’s historic printing capital.
Programme Structure
Programme highlights:
Gain an in-depth understanding of religious imagery through a series of lectures, conceived as hands-on workshops. Topics include the religious images across different media (drawings, etchings, engravings, woodcuts, devotional prints, and book illustrations). Participants will explore both the materiality of religious images—such as design and production—and theoretical approaches, with methodical reflections on modes of interpretation, as well as in-depth analyses of the meaning of individual images.
Introductory sessions will highlight Antwerp’s pivotal role as an international printing center from the 16th century onward, with a special focus on its influence on religious imagery.
Most sessions are hands-on, utilising the exceptional collections of the Ruusbroec Institute Library and the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Participants will have the rare opportunity to handle historical materials, immersing themselves in the tangible history of religious imagery.
With enrollment limited to 15 participants, the summer school fosters interaction and lively discussion between students and expert lecturers.
