LECTURES 
TASTEMAKERS AND THE ART 
MARKET IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY 
EUROPE 
with Prof. Dr. Everhard Korthals Altes 
In this lecture, Everhard Korthals Altes 
will discuss the international art 
market in the eighteenth century, a 
period of extraordinary developments 
in terms of tastemaking. Who were 
the most important collectors, agents 
and dealers in countries like France, 
Germany, and the Netherlands? 
Which paintings were fashionable, 
and why? What kind of shifts in 
taste can be discerned? These are 
some of the questions that come up 
when we consider the intriguing world 
of the art market in early modern 
Europe.
