Art of the Southern Netherlands, Gdansk, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. - Jacek Tylicki , Jacek ed. zukowski /Benesz, Sulewska, Van Hout, Zukowski, Binnebeke, sobecka, Friedrich etc

This book is a collection of essays on artistic and cultural contacts between the Southern Netherlands, Polish lands, and Gda?sk. It is based on papers given at a conference in Gda?sk, organised by the Gda?sk Shakespeare Theatre and the University of Gda?sk in cooperation with Adam Mickiewicz Institute and Theatrum Gedanense Foundation. The conference took place in March 2015 and was devoted to modern period art contacts between that city, the wider Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and - mainly - the Southern Netherlands.0The topics addressed included, among others, the cultural expansion of 15th and early 16th century Bruges, the 16th century pictorial culture of Antwerp, and various aspects of Flemish art in the 17th century, including Baroque sculpture. The reaction in Polish art historiography to the strong presence of Netherlandism in modern-era Gda?sk culture will also be considered.0The city of Gda?sk constituted a key link in the process of exchange of intellectual and artistic ideas (including transmission of formal and iconographic patterns) between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Low Countries, also serving as leading centre for financial relations of both lands. It is therefore not surprising that the wealthy Baltic seaport furthermore acted as a chief regional spot for art imports and trade. The aim of the conference was to shed some new light on dissemination of artistic phenomena deriving from the Southern Netherlands in this part of Europe, both through migrant masters, and itinerant artworks.
