I'm a historian of Early Modern Northern European Art, specialized in 17th-century Dutch. My project "The Dutch in the World" has taken me to a dozen or so key sites of Dutch trade in Asia, Africa, and the Americas--Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, Ghana, Brazil, Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles, even New York--documenting a range of art forms that register the interculturation engendered by these early modern contacts. I've worked with tech-experts in birthing a web project out of this work, currently in progress, but THEY have all the magic!
