Maybe this a as good a thread as to bring up a name - Rubens. We all know he did not make all those paintings and that it was closer to Disney than to one painter. But these works of Rubens are more widely varied than Disney's for quality at least. Some of those babies are hard to look at. Babies are cute normally. Look at "Leda and the Swan" - really bad drawing. I know, the works he did mostly himself are good and some are spectacular. (Stay cool Peter). I think "A Lion Hunt" is about as good as composition ever got.
But it's kind of part of the question as this business fleshed itself out. When did artists start painting their own paintings and worry that years later people would look at the corporate productions and have to try to sort through the work to identify the actual painter?
