Ecartico: Linking cultural industries in the early modern Low Countries

ECARTICO is a comprehensive collection of structured biographical data concerning painters, engravers, printers, book sellers, gold- and silversmiths and others involved in the ‘cultural industries’ of the Low Countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As in other biographical databases, users can search and browse for data on individuals or make selections of certain types of data. However, ECARTICO also allows users to visualize and analyze data on cultural entrepreneurs and their ‘milieus’.
