Each year, the DFK Paris offers a course that deals intensively with art in France and Germany. The course typically investigates a question of a topographical, historic, genre-specific, functional, or iconological nature. It educates young researchers directly in front of original works and, at the same time, encourages encounters with researchers in the respective host country. The course is conceived for advanced students, masters and doctoral students, and, in approved cases, post-doctoral researchers.
