Erasmus Lectures 2021 at Harvard University: Art and Thought in the Dutch Republic
Online event: 5 November – 19 November 2021

In collaboration with Harvard University’s Department of History of Art and Architecture, the Harvard Art Museums present Art and Thought in the Dutch Republic, a three-part online lecture series delivered by Hanneke Grootenboer, Professor of Art History at Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and the 2021 Erasmus Lecturer on the History and Civilization of the Netherlands and Flanders at Harvard University.

The Erasmus Lectureship on the History and Civilization of the Netherlands and Flanders invites lecturers to spend a semester in any department of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. The lectureship was endowed in 1967 by donations from individuals and businesses in the Netherlands and from Dutch expatriates in the United States. In 1994, the endowment was enlarged by a donation from the Government of Flanders.

The lectures take place on three consecutive Fridays in November. All talks will take place online via Zoom and are free and open to all. Separate registration is required for each lecture; for details and to register, click on the lecture’s title.
