Marisa Bass and Koenraad Jonckheere, art historians who will be at NIAS in the second semester, will give presentations about their research at the symposium Iconoclasm: Beeldenstorm and Beyond in Amsterdam.

About the Symposium

This year marks the 450th anniversary of the Beeldenstorm, the wave of iconoclasm that swept over the Low Countries in 1566. This defining moment in Netherlandish history will be commemorated with a two-day symposium, 9 and 10 December 2016, which will consider the Beeldenstorm in relation to iconoclasm as a global phenomenon.
