Abstract
This paper examines the apprentice of painters in Antwerp during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries from a normative and quantitative perspective, based on archival sources. First, we analyse the statutes of the guild of Saint Luke, which are partly preserved and published, with regard to the rules, regulations, and entry fees for the apprentices. Second, we conduct extensive quantitative research on the official membership lists of the Antwerp guild of Saint Luke, to shed light on the number and mobility of apprentices, and the accessibility of the painter profession.
