Netherlands
For a short while the Prix de Rome was also awarded to young artists during the Kingdom of Holland (today roughly Belgium & the Netherlands) under Lodewijk Napoleon. During the years 1807-1810 prize winners were sent to Paris and onwards to Rome for study. In 1817 King Willem I restarted the prize; though it took until 1823 before the new "Royal Academies" of Amsterdam and Antwerp could organize the juries. Winners (1807–1810):
- 1807 Woutherus Mol, Jean-Eugène-Charles Alberti & Abraham Teerlink
- 1808 Tiarko Meyer Cramer, Jan de Greef & Josephus Augustus Knip; Zeger Reijers & Antonie Sminck Pitloo (Architecture)
- 1809 Johan David Zocher Jr. (Architecture); Paulus Joseph Gabriël (Sculpture)
- 1810 Pieter Rudolph Kleijn

Famous quotes containing the word netherlands:
“Greece is a sort of American vassal; the Netherlands is the country of American bases that grow like tulip bulbs; Cuba is the main sugar plantation of the American monopolies; Turkey is prepared to kow-tow before any United States pro-consul and Canada is the boring second fiddle in the American symphony.”
—Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko (1909–1989)
