Hieronymus Bosch by Larry Silver5/12/2023 The proliferation of painted and printed images and their gradual differentiation into recognizable, conventional types is a phenomenon long associated with that time and that place. The object of Silver’s study is no less than the historical genesis of pictorial genres in the context of the art market in sixteenth-century Antwerp. Larry Silver’s entrée 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. 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. The marriage of art history and economics, consummated through the study of art markets, has engendered myriad possibilities for the investigation of early modern Netherlandish art.
