The cycle of the lectures is focused on knowladge and interpretation of Netherlandish art of the 15th and 16th
centuries. The aim of the course is to present the art production in one of economically best prospering areas of the
late medieval Europe, which at the time of its greatest expansion included the territories in today's northern France,
Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The course underlines relationships of the development of art to other
parts of Europe, especially to the Lands of the Czech Crown. The cycle is based primarily on the iconological
method of Erwin Panofsky. In many respects, Panofsky's legacy was supplemented or corrected by further
research, as formulated by Max J. Friedländer in the context of the discussed issue. Recent approaches focuses
mainly on anthropology of the image or on works mapping the sociological and economic background of artistic
production in the Low Countries (Lorne Campbell). Due to technological analyzes and their interdisciplinary
interpretation (Maryan W. Ainsworth or Jochen Sander), fundamental discoveries concerning Netherlandish
painting have been made, so the aims of the course is to give an overview of the latest methods of exploring
Netherlandish paintings.
