Abstract
In the context of the past research program Antwerp Painting before Iconoclasm: a socio-economic approach (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, NWO 2000-2003; dir. M. Faries and M.P.J. Martens), labor division in artistic production and the role and socio-economic status of assistants (gezellen, knechten, compagnons, journeymen) was studied. Although some archival records testify of their existence, and although they can be assessed through technical investigation, they remain a gray social group that seems difficult to pin down in Comparison to free masters and even apprentices. Art historical data resulting from the study of workshop practices were confronted with socio-economic data (social mobility, vulnerability, migration, social tensions, institutional regulation, career development; also in trades other than the artistic ones), and with insights from historiography, such as shifting ideology in corporative historical research. The issues constitute a relevant context to scholars studying material aspects of early Netherlandish paintings.
