Reihe: Studies in the History of Collecting & Art Markets

This volume reconstructs, through the perspectives of multiple agents, the vibrant atmosphere of 18th-century Italy, mainly Rome, from the standpoint of the art and antiques market. Guided by Grand Tour travelers, monarchs who did not visit the Bel Paese but sought a piece of it, agents striving to carve a niche in the competitive art market, and artists eager to “create” all’antica works to make a name for themselves, the reader will encounter a variety of case studies that will offer a deeper understanding of the dynamism of the Italian art market.
