Amsterdam to paris from van Eyck to van Gogh
Overview From the 15th century the Low Countries – modern-day Belgium, The Netherlands and their territories – witnessed an extraordinary period of cultural brilliance. Brisk trade, merchant-based governments, humanistic education, religious dissent and a taste for luxury and everyday detail combined with an artisan culture to produce a period now known as the Northern Renaissance. The visual worlds and distinctive religious and political identities that emerged from the region continue to influence Western art. Landscape, still life, genre painting and the modern portrait were all developed in the Low Countries, starting with the innovations introduced to oil painting by Jan van Eyck and continuing through the work of Bosch, Brueghel, Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer and down to Van Gogh. But the political and religious map of Europe was reshaped here too, with the emergence of Protestant republics in the north and the struggles of peasants and burghers against the ambitious Holy Roman Empire. With the glory of the Dutch Golden Age, a vast colonial empire brought fabulous riches and ensured the posterity of the art and history of the Low Countries. This 17-day tour, led by historian Dr Nicholas Gordon, goes beyond the clichés of windmills and wooden shoes, taking us from Amsterdam to Delft, Brussels, Bruges and Paris, exploring the fascinating art and history of the Low Countries along the way. Visiting both the larger cities as well as smaller centres such as Utrecht and Ghent, we enjoy some exceptional museums and galleries, and appreciate the cityscapes that have remained largely unchanged since the glory days of the Northern Renaissance. SOME TOUR HIGHLIGHTS 4 nights in Amsterdam, exploring the cosmopolitan city at the heart of the Dutch Golden Age, with extended visits to the Rijksmuseum, recently reopened after a decade of renovation, and the stunning collection at the Van Gogh Museum Day trips to Utrecht, with its magnificent 13th-century cathedral, the castles and estates of the feudal lords at Vechstreek, and the Hague, with the Vermeers and Eschers of the Mauritshaus Museum 2 nights in Delft, Vermeer’s hometown, and a visit to the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen to see works by Bosch and Brueghel 4 nights in Brussels, with its Gothic churches and palaces and World Heritage-listed art nouveau buildings Day trip to the Meuse Valley, visiting the landscapes that inspired early painters 3 nights in beautiful Bruges, with its UNESCO World Heritage-listed medieval centre and tranquil canals 3 nights in Paris, exploring two of the world’s finest art collections at the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay Images left: Victor Horta’s beautiful art nouveau interiors for the Hotel Tassel in Brussels Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665) in the collection of the Mauritshaus The Hague

Amsterdam to paris from van Eyck to van Gogh
Detailed ItinerARY All breakfasts included. Included lunches and dinners are indicated by the letters (L) and (D). Friday 13 May Arrival in amsterdam
After meeting in our hotel this afternoon we take a stroll through the historic heart of this lovely city which, at the beginning of the 17th century, grew from being just one of the many trading towns of the Low Countries into the cultural and economic centre of the Dutch Republic. The merchants, artists and religious minorities who flocked there made it one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities and today we walk along canals lined with the townhouses of the wealthy burghers who ushered in the Golden Age. Dinner tonight is in a local restaurant. Overnight Amsterdam. (D) Saturday 14 May Old Amsterdam Above: The Oudegracht, or “old canal” runs through the centre of Utrecht and the old warehouses now house a lively restaurant and cafe scene. Below: A detail from Rembrandt’s The Night Watch, 1642, one of many treasures in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
The Dutch Republic emerged from the conflict between Catholics and Protestants that reshaped Europe. Amsterdam became a haven for Protestants, protected by rings of fortifications extending far out into the countryside and by a formidable navy that patrolled trading outposts as far away as Indonesia and Japan. This morning we explore the transformation of architecture in the newly Protestant city, visiting redesigned Gothic churches and a clandestine Catholic chapel in the attic of a patrician’s palace. At Rembrandt’s House, the sitting room and shop, studio and living quarters, reveal how art was made and sold to wealthy upper and middle-class patrons. After a welcome lunch in one of Amsterdam’s fine restaurants the afternoon and evening are at leisure. Overnight Amsterdam. (B, L) Sunday 15 May Utrecht and the Vecht Canal estates
Today we take a full day trip to Utrecht and the surrounding countryside, where feudal lords and the burghers of the Golden Age built their castles and estates. From the 8th century, Utrecht was the focal point of Catholicism in the Netherlands, and although it joined the Calvinist Dutch Republic it retained many of its Catholic values. We visit the 13th-century cathedral of St Martin, a magnificent French Gothic building and the largest cathedral in the Netherlands. We break for lunch on the Oudegracht, a pretty canal shaded by trees and lined with medieval warehouses and shops, now cafes and restaurants. In the afternoon we travel back through the Vechtstreek, the picturesque countryside between Utrecht and Amsterdam. In the late afternoon, we return to Amsterdam. Overnight Amsterdam. (B) Monday 16 May A wealth of art
In the 17th century, Dutch painters defined the characteristics of Old Masters and popularised new genres, such as still life and maritime
scenes. This morning’s visit is to the recently renovated Rijksmuseum, where we see masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Ruisdael, Franz Hals and more. After an extended break for lunch we meet at the nearby Van Gogh Museum with its stunning collection of masterpieces: Sunflowers, Almond Blossom and nine self-portraits are here. To a modern eye, Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings seem to transcend time and place, yet they reflect the cosmopolitanism that had long been prized in The Netherlands. Overnight Amsterdam. (B) Tuesday 17 May The Hague and Delft
We depart Amsterdam for Delft this morning, travelling via The Hague, the political centre of The Netherlands and a base for the United Nations’ justice programs. Here the broad streets, lined with the luxurious palaces of diplomats and the well-to-do, spread out from the 15th-century Binnenhof or seat of parliament. The Hague’s art collections are similarly impressive, ranging from Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring and View of Delft, which we will see in the Mauritshaus, to an extraordinary collection of M.C. Escher’s work in a museum dedicated to the artist. In the midafternoon we continue on to nearby Delft, Vermeer’s hometown. The House of Orange, which led the Dutch revolt against the Spanish overlords in the 16th century, also had its headquarters here. Dinner and overnight Delft. (B, D) Wednesday 18 May Bosch and ‘s-Hertogenbosch
Hieronymus Bosch remains one of the most puzzling artists of the Low Countries, and his works continue to dazzle and disturb. Today we travel to ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the fortified city where the artist worked and lived. We visit the town’s beautiful Gothic cathedral, and tour the old city whose ramparts and canals have survived three centuries of war. On our way back to Delft, we stop in Rotterdam to visit the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, whose collection includes works by Bosch and Pieter Brueghel the Elder. Overnight Delft. (B) Thursday 19 May Breughel and Brussels
Today we travel to Brussels via Lier, a small medieval town currently hosting a magnificent collection of Brueghels on loan from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp. In the afternoon we continue on to Brussels. Belgian cities resembled their Dutch counterparts in many ways, but their cosmopolitanism often took a different form. Our orientation tour takes us past some of the highlights of architecture in Brussels, from Gothic churches and palaces to art nouveau buildings. Dinner and overnight Brussels. (B, D) Friday 20 May Gothic and Renaissance art in Flanders
Northern Belgium was the centre of Flanders, the medieval county that extended into parts of modern-day France and Holland. In the 15th century, experimentation with oil painting and a distinctively new aesthetic

here led to a revolutionary style of art. After a talk in the hotel, we visit the Royal Museums of Fine Arts to see the magnificent collection of Old Masters, with masterpieces by Rogier van der Weyden, Rubens and Hans Memling. The afternoon is at leisure, giving you the opportunity of exploring the Modern Museum, with works by David, Ingres, Mirò and Matisse, or you might like to sample local gastronomic specialties while sitting in the World Heritage-listed Grand Place. Overnight Brussels. (B) Saturday 21 May Modernity in Belgium
René Magritte is the perfect example of how modern Belgium combined international and uniquely local values and aesthetics. At the Magritte Museum, we see how the artist’s technical mastery of oil paint and attention to fine detail continue the tradition established by Van Eyck and van der Weyden, and appreciate the 20th-century ideas that inform his subject matter. This afternoon there is the option of visiting the Victor Horta Museum, the house and studio of this profoundly influential Belgian architect of the Art Nouveau. Overnight Brussels. (B) Sunday 22 May Wallonia and the Meuse Valley Above: René Magritte Not to be Reproduced (La reproduction interdite, 1937), Museum Boijmans van Beuningen Below: A detail from the Ghent Altarpiece (Adoration of the Mystic Lamb), a complex polyptych panel painting commissioned from Hubert Van Eyck and completed by his better known brother Jan between 1430-1432.
Southern Belgium formed part of the border between French and German cultures and is notable for the way it blended the two influences in a distinctive new style. Today we explore Wallonia and the Meuse Valley. Our visit to Wéris is a step back to pre-history, where giant menhirs, ancient standing stones, were erected by a mysterious people. At the Romanesque collegiate church in Nivelles and the secluded gardens of Freÿr Castle, designed in the style of Le Notre, we appreciate the varying aesthetic influences of the region. After lunch on the river, we have unhurried visits to some of the small towns for which the Meuse Valley is famous: tiny Durbay, the world’s smallest city, and Dinant, whose landscape inspired landscape painters such as Joachim Patenier. Overnight Brussels. (B, L) MONDAY 23 MAY The waterways of Ghent
The cities of Northern Belgium were the economic and cultural powerhouses of 15th-century Europe. Today we travel to Ghent, one of the leading cities of the period thanks to its cloth trade. It is also the home of one of the most revolutionary artworks of the 1400s: the so-called Ghent Altarpiece of Hubert and Jan van Eyck, housed in the Cathedral of St Bavo. Much of the city’s medieval architecture also remains intact, giving us a clear idea of the wealth and pragmatism of the northern burghers. After lunch we continue to Bruges, known as the Venice of the North, with its perfectly preserved Flemish-Gothic architecture. Overnight Bruges. (B, D) Tuesday 24 May Medieval Bruges
Bruges was a magnet for European merchants, with a major port and strong banking network. The traders who came here attracted artists in
their turn, and Jan van Eyck, Gerard David and Hans Memling all worked in the town. Their masterpieces for foreign merchants would leave an indelible imprint on Western art, as merchants shipped them to Spain, France, Germany and Italy. After a morning talk in the hotel, we explore the historic cityscape of Bruges. We visit the Hans Memling Museum, housed in a medieval hospital, as well as the outstanding collection of works by Van Eyck, David, Bosch and van der Goes at the Groeninge Museum. The late afternoon and evening are at leisure. Overnight Bruges. (B) Wednesday 25 May Antwerp
Today we travel to Antwerp, which became the focus of commercial activity in the region after Bruges’ principal canal silted and its harbours declined. Antwerp quickly became Europe’s largest port and richest city, and Flemish, French, German and Italian styles of art and architecture blended there. The vibrancy of the city is reflected in the guildhalls of the Grote Markt, whose architecture influenced a young Gaudí, and in the canvases by Rubens in the cathedral. We visit Ruben’s house, his grand workshop only rivalled in size by Bernini’s in Rome, and Rockox House, a patrician’s palace where art is experimentally displayed as its 17thcentury patrons exhibited it. Antwerp is still an innovative centre, with futuristic architecture at the law court and at the Museum aan de Stroom. Returning to Bruges, the evening is at leisure. Overnight Bruges. (B) Thursday 26 May Tournai and Paris
Today we travel to Paris via Tournai, the home of Robert Campin and Rogier van der Weyden. The town grew exceptionally wealthy from the production of fine cloth and tapestry in the Middle Ages and its economic boom brought a degree of self-governance. Our tour of the city takes in the well-preserved urban layout, World Heritage-listed cathedral with its blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, and some of the oldest surviving private houses in Europe. In the early afternoon, we continue on to Paris. Overnight Paris. (B, D) Friday 27 May Old and New Art in Paris
This morning we visit the Musée d’Orsay, with its fine collection of Van Gogh’s displayed in context with contemporary modern masters. In the afternoon, there is an optional visit to the Musée de Cluny, France’s National Museum of the Middle Ages with its wonderful collection of medieval treasures from France, Burgundy and the Low Countries, including the celebrated tapestries of the Lady and the Unicorn, Gothic statuary, jewellery and illuminated manuscripts.. Overnight Paris. (B)

Saturday 28 May The Low Countries in the Louvre
The Louvre boasts an outstanding collection of Flemish and Dutch painting, and this morning we investigate key works by Van Eyck, van der Weyden, Rubens and others, placing them in the context of the French and German traditions also represented within the museum. The afternoon is at leisure and you may wish to continue enjoying the Louvre’s outstanding collections, before we meet in the early evening for our farewell dinner. Overnight Paris. (B, D) Sunday 29 May Departure
Our tour ends today. Transfers are available to those who have booked their flights through Academy travel to Charles de Gaulle airport. (B)
