This is not just a painting : an inquiry in art, domination, magic and the sacred

by Bernard Lahire, Helen Morrison

This study examines the social processes and institutional structures behind art valuation, using the rediscovery and acquisition of Nicolas Poussin's The Flight into Egypt to analyse how an ordinary canvas is transformed into a recognised masterpiece.
