Explanation of artist modifiers
These "modifiers" relate to the named artist that you choose from the list. They allow The Athenaeum to track artworks that are related to
the named artist, but have a special status.
Default: This is the normal situation, where the named artist is the creator of the artwork.
Attributed: If an artwork is "attributed," it is believed that the named artist created it, but there is some
doubt or disagreement.
Workshop of: The actual creator(s) of this artwork are unknown, but they are believed to have worked in the workshop
of the named artist.
Following: The actual creator is unknown, but is believed to be a follower, a pupil, or otherwise closely
related to the named artist.
After: The artwork was made by an unknown creator who is not believed a direct follower, but who created this work by
copying or imitating the style of the named artist.
Artwork listings and counts
Please note that artworks set to "default" or "attributed" will always be listed for the artist, and included in the
counts of the artist's artworks. Attributed artworks will have a special note/symbol to show that their authorship is uncertain. The other settings
("Workshop of," "Following," and "After") will not be counted in the artist's artworks counts, and will not be shown in the main
list of their artworks. However, they will be in a separate listing on the main artist page.
