| The Grand Atelier Pathways of Art in Europe (5th - 18th century)
Friday 05.10.2007 > Sunday 20.01.2008 - Centre for Fine Arts (Brussels)
Long before asserting itself as a political entity, Europe was an area of intense circulation of people and goods. Despite wars and conflicts, this exchange of ideas, goods and innovations established lasting bonds between human communities, from the Mediterranean to the Baltic, from the Atlantic to the Urals. We often forget that artists, works of art and even wealthy men seeking to satisfy their hunger for beauty also travelled the trade routes and waterways. Thus, it is through past masterpieces and even modest works, that we can grasp and appreciate what was even at the dawn of the Middle Ages, a European space of art and thought. | Making History: Antiquaries in Britain, 1707-2007 opens this week

The Society of Antiquaries of London was founded in 1707 and celebrates its tercentenary this year. To mark the occasion, the society is collaborating with the Royal Academy of Arts on an exhibition, guest curated by David Starkey. The exhibition includes more than 180 treasures, many on show for the first time, such as a Bronze Age shield, the 13th-century Lindsey Psalter, and a processional cross from the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Also on show are paintings by John Constable and JMW Turner, drawings by William Blake and a collection of English royal portraits. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
