Mapping markets for paintings in Europe 1450-1750

"The editors, Neil De Marchi and Hans J. Van Miegroet, an economist and an historian, have collaborated across their disciplines for ten years. Here they have interspersed participants' essays with brief connecting observations, to produce a text that respects displinary expertise while making connections across locations and across time. Much has been written about European paintings; but how markets in paintings emerged, who they served, what roles and institutions were developed that enabled them to function effectively, and how exchange affected visual preferences, have not been studied in such a deliberately wide angled, comparative way."
