The state power of European countries mostly grew due to the degradation of the church. With the Renaissance and Enlightenment art becoming more and more secular, it grew further and further from the Catholic Church. With the Church being left behind quickly, the secularism grew, taking away powers from the clergy. This gave monarchs more power. As a result, you can see that most European monarchs had exquisite paintings and magnificent palaces reflecting the architecture of the time, for example, the Palace of Versailles.
