Book Synopsis


Trade Review
One of Christie's 11 best art books of 2015; 'It's rare for a work of scholarship to lay bare an entire episode from the history of art, let alone an important one, but that is what Christina M. Anderson achieves in The Flemish Merchant of Venice, her spry, at times thriller-like retelling of the Gonzaga sale, in which the ducal family of Mantua sold works by Titian, Raphael, Caravaggio, among others, to the court of Charles I.'--Leo Robson; 'This biography of Daniel Nijs, the man who made King Charles I's greatest art purchase possible, reads almost like a Hogarthian moral tale... Anderson has produced a more rounded picture of a dealer, connoisseur, go-between and deviser of visionary schemes.'--James Yorke, Art Newspaper.
