Its abuse led to a professional body of bureacrats and the civil services.
The rise of the middle class during the Renaissance and beyond significantly altered the patronage system, as this group began to invest in the arts and culture, previously dominated by the nobility and the Church. Middle-class patrons sought to commission works that reflected their values, aspirations, and social status, leading to a diversification of artistic themes and styles. This shift not only expanded the market for artists but also democratized art, making it more accessible to a broader audience. Consequently, the patronage system became more competitive and varied, fostering innovation in artistic expression.
Beethoven
Beethoven considered himself outside the bounds of the patronage system.
Beethoven and Haydn both worked under the Patronage System. However, both often worked for third parties selling compositions, doing lessons, or performing. ......... Beethoven and Haydn both worked under the patronage system, however, Beethoven did not work exclusively under this system. Haydn stayed with his patron until the Spanish duke died! Beethoven was paid from several avenues and had freedom to write or not write when he chose. The difference was, if Haydn was asked to write by his patron he had to whether he felt like it or not, Beethoven was what we would refer to as a free agent. So the answer is Hayden worked exclusively under the patronage system for the large majority of his life.
