"Much more than just another volume of “technical studies,” Making and Marketing makes a significant contribution to our expanding knowledge about the painting processes followed by Netherlandish artists, and to our understanding of late Medieval and Renaissance workshop practice." (Nancy E. Zinn, in: HNA Review of Books)
This volume is about Netherlandish workshop practice from the
late fifteenth century to the 1560s. Some articles present
the results of new technical studies that are comprehensive in
nature, revealing the inter-relationship between prints and
painting practices, modes of collaboration, shifts in procedure,
the development and use of shop models, and the impact of
international commerce. Others present new documentary evidence and
new methods of historical statistics revealing trends in workshop
size, career trajectories, and immigration. The essays have
been collected around the theme of a session on workshop practice
organized by Molly Faries for the 2002 Historians of Netherlandish
Art International Conference held in Antwerp.
