Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Before glamorous 19th-century Paris or menacing 20th-century New York, there was Antwerp in the 16th century – the city of Bruegel and then Rubens, a river port which played politics to become a dazzling world city.
Join Michael Pye, author of Antwerp: The Glory Years, for this talk which will explore the sensational history of the town where Bruegel and Rubens worked.
Antwerp’s markets guaranteed credit for the known world whilst its scandals went around Europe, dinner table by dinner table.
Books and music and art created in Antwerp decorated Medici palaces, American chapels and helped kings when they went wooing.
It was the city of the deal which survived sieges and fires and mutinies to leave a double legacy: wonderful art, and the machinery to sell it.
In this fascinating talk from Michael Pye, you’ll delve into all this rich history and discover more about the backdrop to our current Bruegel to Rubens exhibition.
