Art Market and Connoisseurship - A Closer Look At Paintings By Rembrandt, Rubens Their Contemporaries

Klappentext The question of whether seventeenth-century painters such as Rembrandt and Rubens were exclusively responsible for the paintings later sold under their names has caused many a heated debate. Despite the rise of scholarship on the history of the art market! much is still unknown about the ways in which paintings were produced! assessed! priced! and marketed during this period! which leads to several provocative questions: did contemporary connoisseurs expect masters such as Rembrandt to paint works entirely by their own hand? Who was credited with the ability to assess paintings as genuine? The contributors to this engaging collection--Eric Jan Sluijter! Hans Van Miegroet! and Neil De Marchi! among them--trace these issues through the booming art market of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries! arriving at fascinating and occasionally unexpected conclusions.
