Regularly, the DFK Paris offers courses that deal intensively with art in France and Germany. The courses typically investigate a question of a topographical, historic, genre-specific, functional, or iconological nature. They educate art historians in the qualification phase directly in front of original works and, at the same time, encourage encounters with researchers in the respective host country. The courses are conceived for advanced students, masters and doctoral students, and, in approved cases, post-doctoral researchers.
