Izanna Mulder - L’Atelier des Delâtre: Artisanal Experiments and Artistic Expertise Abstract: L'Atelier des Delâtre: Artisanal Experiments and Artistic Expertise is a study on an artistic printing house in Paris. Its owners, father and son Delâtre, had a great influence on developments in 19th- and 20th-century printmaking. The most important artists of the period - think of Picasso, Manet and Cassatt - had their etchings printed by the two printers and also learned themselves the different techniques. The more research is conducted on the atelier, the clearer it becomes that it played a key role in the developments within 19th and 20th-century printmaking as an artform. It is not just the exceptional artworks that have been created there, but also the fact that the realization of these creations could only come about through intense collaboration, in which the artist became a craftsman, and the craftsman became an artist. Bio: Izanna Mulder (MA Curating Art and Cultures) is a freelance curator/researcher and an art history lecturer at the ArtEZ Art Academy. She is currently researching the 19th and 20th century Parisian printing house of Auguste and Eugène Delâtre as an external PhD at the University of Amsterdam. Winning the Prix de Paris has granted her the opportunity to conduct archival research in Paris, exploring artist letters, prints and documents related to the atelier.

Emilie Froment and Melissa Daughtery - The Dutch Method Unfolded. A Masterclass on Wax-Resin Lining, Review of the Program’s Achievements Abstract: Emilie Froment and Melissa Daugherty will present on The Dutch Method Unfolded, a masterclass on wax-resin lining targeted to an international group of conservation specialists. The Dutch Method Unfolded is a two-week multidisciplinary program that aims to help professionals in the fields of art history and conservation to understand the physical condition of wax-resin lined paintings. It therefore contributes to the conservation of paintings that have been subjected to wax-resin lined treatment. Furthermore, the masterclass provides a platform to share expertise and reflect on the consequences of wax-resin linings for today’s conservation approaches and art history. The masterclass ran throughout 2 years; it was completed in June 2022 with a workshop in Amsterdam. The talk will review the two years of activities and share future perspectives. The project was funded by the Getty Foundation as part of its Conserving Canvas grant initiative. Bio: Dr. Emilie Froment is trained as art historian and paintings conservator in Paris I, Pantheon Sorbonne. Since 2008 she has been teaching paintings conservation at the department Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage of the University of Amsterdam. She also coordinates the paintings specialty. In January 2019, she received her PhD at the UvA on the consequences of wax-resin linings for the present appearance and conservation of Netherlandish seventeenth century paintings on canvas. In 2020, she created the Amsterdam Wax-Resin Project (AWRP) a research and educational project focused on wax-resin lining and the conservation of wax-resin lined paintings. Melissa Daugherty obtained her bachelor’s in Art History at the University of Leiden and completed her master’s Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage at the UvA, specializing in paintings. After receiving her post-graduate diploma in 2014 she founded a multi discipline conservation studio with four colleagues in Amsterdam. She has been a private paintings conservator for the last eight years but started working for the Rijksmuseum in January 2023. Since 2020 she has been working together with Emilie for the AWRP focusing on the masterclass.
