Het verleden van het heden schilderen

Bertrand Tillier, Florette Dijkstra

Can the art of painting still help interpret current events, as it used to? Or is it competing in an unwinnable race with the far more nimble media and journalistic reporting?0In his work, artist Stijn Peeters hearkens back to French history painting, magazine illustrations, and anonymous popular prints from the eighteenth and nineteenth century.
