Abstract

Abstract:

Queen Christina of Sweden was a prolific collector both as ruler of Sweden and as abdicated queen in Rome. Working for decades to build nearly autonomous antiquities collections in Stockholm and Rome, Christina employed a robust network of art acquisition agents. Correspondence and travel notes between these agents, artists, their associates, and Christina provide insight into the queen’s reach, ambition, and limitations. This article takes an intersectional approach to women’s mobility in the early modern antiquities market, illuminating the impact of religion, location, gender, and status on the ancient marble trade across Europe and the transnational networks Christina utilised.

代理人、收购和代理：瑞典克里斯蒂娜王后在斯德哥尔摩和罗马发展古董收藏的过程

摘要：瑞典女王克里斯蒂娜作为瑞典统治者和罗马退位女王，都是一位多产的收藏家。数十年来，克里斯蒂娜在斯德哥尔摩和罗马建立了几乎独立的古董收藏馆，并雇佣了一个强大的艺术品收购代理网络。这些代理人、艺术家、他们的助手以及克里斯蒂娜之间的通信和旅行笔记让我们得以深入了解这位女王的影响力、野心和局限性。这篇文章从交叉的角度探讨了现代早期古董市场中女性的流动性，揭示了宗教、地域、性别和地位对欧洲古代大理石贸易以及克里斯蒂娜所利用的跨国网络的影响。
