AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot write an accurate overview of mercantilism based solely on the provided context. The image caption only identifies a painting and dates it to "the height of mercantilism," but contains no actual information about what mercantilism is, its characteristics, or its significance. To write an accurate, factual overview as you've requested, I would need contextual information that defines and explains mercantilism itself.
