By the beginning of the seventeenth century, they still came to the Eternal City but several aspects had radically changed.First of all, quite a few remained longer than necessary for a mere study trip – they sometimes settled here for years. They also started to develop a style of painting that had nothing to do with classical antiquity – either opting for Caravaggio, or developing the so-called Bambocciate or genre-pieces that were in great demand with local patrons and buyers, but which became frowned upon by 19th century historians of Dutch art. During this round-table, various speakers will approach the phenomenon from art historical, social and historical perspectives.The conference starts at 16:00 and will consist of the following talks:Reflections on recent (mis)attributions to Caravaggio - Gert Jan van der Sman, Dutch University Institute for Art History in FlorencePainters from the North and the Art Market in Early Seventeenth-century Rome - Patrizia Cavazzini, Research Fellow British School at RomeChanging tastes. The formal and informal appreciation of the works of 17th century Dutch painters from the 19th to the 21th century - Paul Schnabel, Utrecht University
