Painting and Sculpture of Europe seeks a 2024-27 Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Foundation Fellow to assist with researching the collection of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish paintings for an online collection catalogue. This three-year fellowship builds upon Painting and Sculpture of Europe’s record of in-depth digital collection publications, such as Gauguin: Paintings, Sculptures, and Graphic Works at the Art Institute of Chicago (2016) and Monet: Paintings and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago (2014), thereby augmenting the museum’s impressive roster of digital catalogues and ensuring worldwide access to new research. Although several paintings from this group were part of the museum’s founding purchase in 1890, the 17th-century Dutch and Flemish collection has never been extensively studied, and technical and stylistic research will generate new discoveries about these foundational works. The artists identified for this project include Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Jacob van Ruisdael, and David Teniers the Younger, among others.
