Briefly, Church leaders & wealthy merchants supported the arts to boost their standing within either the Church or the community. For the merchants in particular, the pieces were, of course of great value at the time and, if they stayed in the family, grew in value. The same basic response applies to the Church, where in theory, if not practicality, the pieces were commissioned for the greater glory of the Church, although the many of the Holy Fathers were incredibly wealthy in their own right.
