Yup, Larian should really balance gold a bitr better.
With bartering 4 and attitude 100 at the most important traders things get out of control late in the game. I left Cyseal with appr. 40,000. I left the Luculla maps with appr. 250,000. And I am before Balberith after Death Temple and Cassndra with 450,000. That is after I bought more than 50% of the legendaries the intergalactic trader and the Hunters Edge undead trader had to offer after each level advance.
But the main driver is not paintings but loot from the literally thousands of vases and barrels and the fights. When you need gold most (very early) it is scarce, when you need it least it is plenty- one of the most disregarded game features me thinks.
