Research

The research focus of the DFK are the artistic relations between France and Germany of all eras. Moreover, it is the intention of the DFK to support German scholarly work on France and, vice versa, French research on questions of German art history.

Research is conducted as long-term projects by teams of international researchers. In the process we seek to establish partnerships with institutions of the host country.

In addition, under the supervision of acknowledged experts, the so-called "Jahresthemen" (annual themes) focus on specific research questions determined by the director and the scientific committee.

Moreover, the DFK supports research on individual art historical questions.
