Alongside the fairs and before specialist auction sales were established, they were an atypical but popular and large-scale form of the art trade. As part of a growing entrepreneurial sensibility based on speculation and a sense of risk, they lay behind many innovations. This study looks at their actors, networks and strategies. It considers the objects at stake, their value, and the forms of visual communication intended to boost an appetite for ownership. Ultimately, it contemplates how the lottery culture impacted notions of Fortune and Vanitas in the visual arts. 410 0$aStudies in the history of collecting & art markets.$x2352-0485 ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aArt$xEconomic aspects$zBenelux countries$xHistory 606 $aLotteries$zBenelux countries$xHistory 606 $aArt$xCollectors and collecting$zBenelux countries$xHistory 606 $aArt and society$zBenelux countries$xHistory 615 0$aArt$xEconomic aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aLotteries$xHistory. 615 0$aArt$xCollectors and collecting$xHistory. 615 0$aArt and society$xHistory. 676 $a701/.03 700 $aRaux$b Sophie$01184322 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796889203321 996 $aLotteries, art markets, and visual culture in the Low Countries, 15th-17th centuries$93810196 997 $aUNINA
