Like other contemporary art historians involved in the commerce of art, he was entangled in the reciprocal dynamics and interdependencies of the nascent discipline of art history, connoisseurship and the art trade. The volume introduces new material and a fresh perspective on Bode’s strategic participation in the Western art market, exposing the particular consequences of these entanglements on the birth of the art historical canon and showcasing his complex agency within the art marketplace of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations   Notes on Contributors      Introduction: The Entanglement of Art Historical Scholarship, Connoisseurship and the Art Trade in the Late Nineteenth Century      Part 1: Deploying Connoisseurship to Affect the Market   1 Wilhelm Bode and His Loyal Lieutenants: The Trade in Dutch Pictures, 1879–1914    Michael J.
