Protestant artists were often commissioned by wealthy patrons, including merchants and civic leaders, who sought to reflect their values and beliefs through art. Additionally, churches in Protestant regions occasionally commissioned works that emphasized moral lessons or depicted biblical themes without the elaborate iconography favored by the Catholic Church. The rise of the middle class during the Renaissance also contributed to the demand for secular art, allowing artists to explore a broader range of subjects.

This division fostered conflicts, such as the Thirty Years' War, and encouraged the rise of nation-states that asserted their independence from papal authority. Consequently, Europe became increasingly characterized by religious pluralism and political fragmentation rather than cohesion.
