A study day about the Joyous Entries of the (Spanish) Netherlands and current interdisciplinary research, held at Antwerp’s Rubenianum (Kolveniersstraat 20).On 17th April 2020, the 385th anniversary of the Joyous Entry of Cardinal-Infant Ferdinand of Spain into Antwerp, which had taken place on this day in 1635, the study day will focus on these ephemeral, spectacular, and artistically ingenious events – which in 1635 had been designed by Peter Paul Rubens – that shaped and transformed the early modern cities of the Spanish Netherlands. This event brings together the leading scholars of this field of art and ritual history whose contributions have made it possible to gain a deeper understanding of the early modern festivities held in the Netherlands to assert and negotiate power between the ruler and the ruled. Together with (young) colleagues and specialists from adjacent disciplines, we aim to discuss the challenges and chances of studying such significant moments of history.Date : 17 avril 2020Lieu : Rubenianum (Kolveniersstraat 20,  2000 Anvers)Programme et informations supplémentaires
