OSK Summer School Paris: Grotesque
Summer 2021 | Leiden University & Paris
This Summer School focuses on the grotesque. By visiting the Louvre, the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, Fontainebleau, etc., we study images that were extremely popular and were often created by the most prominent artists of their time. Nevertheless, traditional Art History rarely accepted these images as true art. They were too extravagant, too strange, too fantastic, too popular.
OSK/NIKI Winter School in Florence
January 2021 | NIKI – Florence | Deadline registration: October 20
In early-modern Italy, images that worked miracles in people’s lives could also work wonders in art. Such is the thesis at the core of our course. As powerful images were reframed, repainted, raised on altars, veiled and unveiled, ritualized in processions, and as they became the recipients of gifts, did they transform the course of the history of art? How much do the tabernacles of Orcagna, Brunelleschi, or Michelozzo owe to devotional practice? How did the style of older, venerated images interact with that of their modern interpreters, such as Antoniazzo Romano or Rubens?
OSK Course | Materials & Materiality in Art History
November 2020
Art history is witnessing a turn and return to object centered research and teaching. Material culture studies, art theory, artistic practice, conservation, technical art history, history of science, as well as ethnography, all shape a field, which is reinvented on its own grounds. The material status of the artwork has clearly become a topic of relevance that reaches also those art historians, whose work is not primarily concerned with the production, conservation, and restoration of art.

OSK PhD seminar Paradigms in the History of Art
November 20 & 27, 2020 | Universiteit Utrecht
Does an artwork only belong to the period in which it is created, or should it be interpreted in our present today’s context? To what extent are there formal and conceptual links between contemporary art and works from the past? Are combined presentations of past and present art works, as is increasingly done in current museum exhibitions, meaningful or even necessary? How do works from the past inform our present modes of looking and interpretation?
OSK PhD seminar: The Architecture of the PhD Thesis
March-April 2021 | Utrecht University
The seminar explores different ways of structuring a PhD thesis in art history or history of architecture. Participants examine and discuss published examples and also present the (provisory) structure of their own thesis for further discussion. The course is useful for PhD candidates in their second or third year and for those working on the definitive structure of their thesis.

OSK Summer School | Vereniging Rembrandt
June 2021 | Amsterdam
Almost any visitor will be surprised to find that late nineteenth and twentieth- century art is scattered over three different museums on Museumplein. The Stedelijk Museum has installed its permanent collection of twentieth-century art in the basement, and the Rijksmuseum collects Dutch twentieth-century art and presents it on its top floor, which has retained the feeling of an attic.
OSK/RU course Materials & Techniques in Early Netherlandish Painting, with a special focus on Jheronimus Bosch
May-June 2021 | Radboud University Nijmegen
This intensive, six-week course surveys how Netherlandish paintings were produced, and why this information can be of critical importance for art historians. Topics will include: the division of labour within a workshop, how to ‘read’ X-radiographs and infrared reflectograms, and how to interpret the results of dendrochronological analyses.
