​This digital publication, part of the publication series 'RKD Studies' of the RKD Netherlands Institute for Arts History, present the results of a workshop held in Rome in 2019, organised by Eva Geudeker (RKD) and Asker Pelgrom. Its aim was to chart current research, projects, questions and ideas concerning artists from the Low Countries active in Italy during the 'long' nineteenth century. 

Among other things, it contains contributions on the relation between art and politics, social mobility, networks, studio practices, exhibitions, the art market and their influence on the position and (self‐)image of artists. The visual artists discussed here are painters, sculptors, architects, photographers and possibly others, from the area nowadays known as the Netherlands and Belgium.

The volume holds essays by Davy Depelchin (Royal Museums of Fine Arts, Brussels), Christine Dupont (House of European History, Brussels), Laura Fanti (Université libre de Bruxelles), Dominique Marechal (Royal Museums of Fine Arts, Brussels), Fien Messens (Ghent University) and Malika M’rani Alaoui (Ghent University) and Asker Pelgrom.

​

The digital environment of the RKD, of which the publication is a part, made it possible to richly illustrate the contributions and to provide numerous links to the RKD databases and library.
