The ProvEnhance project, initiated in October 2023, aims to establish an academic and methodological framework for provenance research in Belgium. ProvEnhance studies part of the collection of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and the art market between the pre-war and post-war periods. The project uses multiple sources as well as digital tools to collect and enrich provenance data and publish open datasets. The three researchers from the ProvEnhance project will present the specific case of Belgium, the methodology used in the project and the multidisciplinary approach that characterizes it.

The ProvEnhance project is a partnership between the RMFAB, the Free University of Brussels, the Technical University of Berlin and the Center for the Study of War and Society (CegeSoma, Belgian State Archives).

About this seminar

Heritage plundered during the period of Nazism (1933-1945)

This seminar explores the field of research relating to the spoliation of cultural property, the provenance of works of art and the consequences of the loss and disappearance of property. It is carried out in collaboration with the Mission for Research and Restitution of Cultural Property Looted between 1933 and 1945 of the Ministry of Culture, and with the National Heritage Institute. The new program for 2023 continues the field of investigation already broadened to include the context, meaning and consequences of provenance research and restitution of works of art. The seminar is also interested in artists and writers inspired today by the themes of dispossession, disappearance and the search for traces.

In partnership with the Mission for Research and Restitution of Cultural Property Looted Between 1933 and 1945 (Ministry of Culture) and the National Heritage Institute.
