Samenvatting
Publication apply the methods of information economics to the study of art. Building on three economic concepts-signaling, signposting, and stretching it develops a methodology for assessing the meaning of art patronage and provides a framework for understanding how works of art functioned in Renaissance Italy. Publication discusses how patrons used conspicuous commissions to establish and signal their wealth and status, and explores the impact that individual works had on society. The ways in which artists met their patrons' needs for self-promotion dramatically affected the nature and appearance of paintings, sculptures, and buildings. |
