Art merchant
Art Merchants are merchants who sell various Paintings and Treasure Maps. Back then, it was still considered as a raw business, similar to food merchants and blacksmiths.
Paintings
Each Painting increases Monteriggioni's value, with the higher the price, the higher the added value. Paintings sold by Art Merchants change depending on what region they are in. Once purchased, they can also be viewed at the art gallery on the 2nd floor of the Villa for some background information on the painting itself, and its artist. Art Merchants aren't as common as blacksmiths or doctors, but there is at least one situated in each location.
