New Imagery and the Consumption of Images in 16th Cenutry Antwerp
Category: Conferences & Symposia [View all]
Posted by: University Lille 3 - France
Deadline: 11/07/08
16th century Antwerp underwent an unprecedented economic growth, yielding major commercial, social and cultural consequences. The development of modern infrastructures participated in generating new consuming habits, including a more widely spread interest in painting. The increasing demand for luxury goods - especially paintings - was both sustained and encouraged by the development of new production types oriented towards innovation as well as an increasing variety. Such evolution leads us to ask a number of questions. Among them:
-What kind of parallels can we draw between Antwerp’s economic context, and the birth of new pictorial genres and styles, finally leading to an increasing specialization of the artistic production ?
-Does a specific iconography emerge in connection with the Antwerpian context?
-How did those innovations evolve over time given a controversial religious background?
