  From professions to corporatism in Brabant cities (Middle Ages - 20th century)

  Van ambachten tot corporatisme in de Brabantse steden (middeleeuwen – 20ste eeuw)

  Le colloque s’intéresse aux conceptions que les corporations de métiers ont propagé jadis, en dehors du champ strictement matériel de leur activité de production. On songe au souci du ‘bien commun’, à la moralité, à la protection des veuves et des orphelins des membres, à la place des confrères pauvres, aux activités dévotionnelles et religieuses, à la transmission de connaissances et à la formation, aux manifestations communau-taires dans l’espace public et à une sociabilité liée au groupe professionnel.

  Francis I and the Artists of the North (1515-1547)

  As an extention of the events of 2015 celebrating the 500th anniversary of the accession of Francis I (1 January 1515) and the victory at Marignan (13-14 September 1515), the symposium will focus on the ties between the "grand roy Françoys" and the North. Whereas the exchanges between Francis I and Italy have attracted much attention, the King’s relations with the old Southern Netherlands, as rich and complex, have not been carefully studied. The symposium "Francis I and Artists of the North (1515-1547)" aims to fill this gap by considering the interest of the King of France in artists and musicians from the old Southern Netherlands and their works.
