Project description
This project researches the social and cultural phenomenon of transnational exchange and
nationals ‘schools’ in the 19th century, via the less studied field of sculpture, and with Belgium
as a case. Importance is paid to the reciprocity of the exchanges: the presence and reception
of Belgian sculptors abroad, as well as the sojourns and exhibiting of foreign sculptors in
Belgium.
