Join exhibition curator Talitha Maria G. Schepers for an in-depth exploration of the exhibition Imagine Me and You: Dutch and Flemish Encounters with the Islamic World, 1450–1750.

Discover what prompted Netherlandish artists to include everyday objects from the Islamic world, like textiles and carpets, in their paintings. Why did Rembrandt copy a Mughal painting? And what role did the tulip—a symbol of the Netherlands—play in Habsburg-Ottoman diplomacy?

Led by:
Talitha Maria G. Schepers, Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Curatorial Fellow, Division of European and American Art, and exhibition curator
