Catalysts of Innovation: Artists' and Artisans' Collections in Early Modern Antwerp
W023582 | $175.00
Marlise Rijks. Harvey Miller Publishers, Brepols Publishers, Turnhout, 2021. Harvey Miller Studies in Baroque Art, 11.
296 pp. Well Illustrated (chiefly col.). 28 x 22 cm. In English. Hardcover.
ISBN 9781912554058
The crucial role of the city of Antwerp in the history of collecting has long been noted in historical and art historical scholarship. However, up to now there has not been a foundational study of the collecting practices of broader social groups in seventeenth-century Antwerp. This present study makes up for the lack in research by focusing on collecting activities of learned artists and artisans - the social groups that, together with the educated merchants, stood at the centre of and shaped the city's cultural life. In their double roles as makers-collectors, they put a strong mark on the culture of collecting.
Subject Headings: Eastern and Western European Art ; Western Art -- Belgium -- 1600-1800 -- Painting ; Several Fine Arts Media (Western) --
