Pour clore en beauté l’exposition Peinture de Sienne, BOZAR EXPO organise un colloque sur l’influence des icônes byzantines sur la peinture flamande. Dans l’Orient chrétien, l’image sacrée était adorée, alors qu’en Occident, elle était considérée comme un objet d’art. Comment ces visions divergentes sont-elles nées ? De Byzance jusqu’aux Pays-Bas, en passant par des villes italiennes comme Sienne, quelle voie ont suivi les icônes ? Ces questions, et bien d’autres, seront débattues par plusieurs éminents spécialistes lors de ce colloque.

Dates Dimanche 18.01.2015 - 08:30 > 16:15
