ARTICLE in RKD STUDIES
We are pleased to share a new publication by Fien Messens connected to the Navez Project: Beyond handshakes: The impact of François-Joseph Navez on his pupils in Rome.
The contribution explores how François-Joseph Navez supported and guided his pupils during their stay in Rome, focusing on artistic mentorship, mobility, and social connections within nineteenth-century artistic networks. Drawing on correspondence and archival material, the article sheds light on the broader role of personal networks in shaping artistic careers abroad.
