I liked how the spread of prints was embedded in a historic context. It would have never been possible for printmaking to flourish without the golden age of the Netherlands. While the authors were unable to identify the historic events behind the inward shift experienced by printmakers across Europe, an effort was made to do so. We also learnt that population changes were the largest determinants of changes in printmaking.<\/p>\n

While I thought it was a nifty paper, a thought kept resurfacing; so what? Or as a classmate of mine put it, “Is this study even relevant?”. Now we know all this info about printmaking, but how is it going to make anything better, or even affect anything, outside of academic circles. I had a hard last couple of months (years) with this opinion, as this is not an overly helpful view to have in college.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
