Abstract

Abstract We study contractual solutions to creative disagreements in the market for original paintings using a sample of ninety commission documents from Renaissance Italy (1285–1530). We investigate the determinants of creative freedom by comparing the length of the description of the final painting with variables capturing painter-, patron-, and commission-specific characteristics. Our results suggest that corporate patronage was positively associated with creative freedom for the painter as compared to individual patrons. We also find evidence that the reputation of the painter at commission and larger commission values are negatively associated with creative freedom.

契约创意:意大利文艺复兴艺术市场的赞助与创作自由

本文以意大利文艺复兴时期(1285-1530)的90份委托文件为样本，研究了原画市场中创造性分歧的合同解决方案。我们通过比较最终绘画描述的长度与捕捉画家、赞助人和佣金特定特征的变量来研究创作自由的决定因素。我们的研究结果表明，与个人赞助人相比，企业赞助与画家的创作自由呈正相关。我们还发现有证据表明，画家的声誉和较大的佣金值与创作自由呈负相关。
