Oh, dude, during the Renaissance, artists were totally funded by rich patrons who were like, "Hey, I have too much money, why not throw some at this artist?" These patrons were basically like the original Kickstarter backers, except instead of getting a tote bag, they got a fancy painting or sculpture. So yeah, without those wealthy peeps, the artists would have been stuck painting on cave walls or something.
Renaissance-era patrons enabled artists to pursue their creative visions by providing financial support and resources, allowing them to focus on their work without the burden of economic constraints. This patronage often resulted in the commissioning of large-scale artworks, which not only showcased the wealth and status of the patrons but also contributed to the cultural and artistic flourishing of the period. Through this relationship, artists gained greater recognition and opportunities to innovate, leading to the development of new techniques and styles that defined the Renaissance.
Patrons
Renaissance patrons, often wealthy individuals or institutions, provided financial support and commissions that allowed artists to pursue their creative visions without the constraints of economic hardship. This patronage enabled artists to experiment with new techniques, materials, and themes, leading to groundbreaking works that defined the period. Additionally, it facilitated the creation of large-scale projects, such as frescoes and altarpieces, which showcased the artists' talents and contributed to the cultural legacy of the Renaissance.
During the renaissance, patrons commissioned many different works of art for many different reasons, be it political propaganda or something similar. The relationship between patrons and artists was clear; the patrons held all the power, decided what was to be painted, in what style and by what date. However, as the renaissance moved through into later periods, artists gained more prestige and began to go against their patrons. Famous artists began to paint what they wanted, disregarding their patron's instructions. Overall, for most of the renaissance, patrons were well above artists in the relationship although this power balance shifted slightly later on.
