By integrating current critical methodologies-semiotics, rhetoric, economic theory-into the examination of sixteenth-century painting in Antwerp, Silver's study has significant and far-reaching application and relevance to other disciplines, notably history and literary criticism. -Choice Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2006 Encompassing a complex and varied set of methodologies, economic histories of the arts have framed compelling new questions around the activities of artists, patrons, and dealers as cultural agents that tend to locate meaning in behavior rather than visuality. Larry Silver's entree into the field not only builds on his own earlier explorations but also significantly reorients the kinds of questions asked and, by extension, the nature of the answers derived from the study of markets. -CAA Reviews A rich and stimulating essay on the symbiotic relationship between artistic development and the market at the beginning of the modern era. . . . A valuable and supremely well informed contribution to our knowledge of both the formation of taste and the evolution of pictorial genres in early modern Europe. -Sixteenth Century Journal Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2006 Encompassing a complex and varied set of methodologies, economic histories of the arts have framed compelling new questions around the activities of artists, patrons, and dealers as cultural agents that tend to locate meaning in behavior rather than visuality.
