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.

摘要：

瑞典女王克里斯蒂娜在瑞典统治时期和罗马退位女王时期都是一位多产的收藏家。克里斯蒂娜几十年来致力于在斯德哥尔摩和罗马建立近乎自主的古董收藏，并聘请了强大的艺术品收购代理网络。这些经纪人、艺术家、他们的同事和克里斯蒂娜之间的通信和游记让我们能够深入了解女王的影响力、野心和局限性。本文采用交叉方法研究早期现代古董市场中的女性流动性，阐明宗教、地点、性别和地位对欧洲古代大理石贸易以及克里斯蒂娜利用的跨国网络的影响。
