This workshop focuses on representations of power in the 17th-century Dutch Republic. The question how power is represented sparks the interest of scholars working in a wide range of disciplines. This workshop brings together political, cultural, and intellectual historians, literary scholars and art historians. It aims to stimulate a cross-disciplinary dialogue about representations in art, literature, ritual and other media. The participants have been invited to reflect on the challenge of representing power in a republican state, in an age when monarchy was the dominant state model. The third day will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of the ongoing ERC-project Republics on the Stage of Kings. Representing Republican State Power in the Europe of Absolute Monarchies (1580-1715), in the framework of which this event is organized.
