Popis: The present paper offers an overview of the costs of oil paintings and especially of altar paintings in Styria from the 1680s to circa 1750. The compilation of the sums that the artists received for their works is prepared based on the documented payments to Franz Carl Remp, Hans Adam Weissenkircher, Johann Veit Hauckh, Franz Ignaz Flurer, Lucas de Schram, and Johann Baptist Scheit. The altar paintings of Venetian artists, for example, Antonio Bellucci, who worked in Vienna, or the German painter Johann Carl Loth, who worked in Venice, were more expensive. It can also be established that around 1700, the prices of oil paintings were dependent not only on the size of the paint- ings and the number of the figures depicted, but also on the reputation of the artists and the financial means of the patrons. It can be presumed that paintings produced for the churches and monasteries in Graz were generally more expensive than the paintings intended for the surrounding towns or the areas on the borders of the Habsburg Empire.
