Mapping Markets for Paintings in Europe 1450- 1750

Over the course of the fifteenth century easel paintings replaced tapestries, frescoes and wood inlay pictures on the walls of private dwellings. Millions of such paintings were produced from 1450-1800, in all shapes, sizes, and price ranges. Who bought them? How were they distributed? What place did they occupy among other "luxury" possessions? This volume is the outcome of a collaboration between art historians, economists, social historians and museum professionals; the result is an entirely new matrix of interactions through which visual cultures in early modern Europe were formed.De Marchi, Neil is the author of 'Mapping Markets for Paintings in Europe 1450- 1750 ', published 0011 under ISBN 9782503518305 and ISBN 2503518303.
