What was a purose of baroque art?
Baroque art came out of rebellion against the Protestant church funded by the Roman Catholics. At the time, the church controlled much of the content of art. In Catholic art, you had to depict religious aspects and make the art very moving in a religious way. Much Catholic art at this time was made in the way of paintings. The Catholic church wanted to make architecture and sculptures in grand scale and have it seen by many people. They wanted to attract more people to the Catholic religion. The Baroque style could be made in many mediums such as sculpture or architecture. Many baroque style sculptures would line the streets of cities that depicted religious ecstasies and conversions.

How does an Art Gallery Owner make money?
Art galleries make money one of four ways depending on what type of gallery and what type of art they cater to. Sometimes they do it a combination of ways.
1) They apply for and are given government grants for the continued operation of their business. Very few galleries survive on government grants alone. Most galleries that do win grants are either very large national institutions or very small start-up galleries that supplement their grant money with income from some other source (ie. commission from sold artwork).
2) They rent out their space for artists to show their work. It is not always the gallery that pays the artist to exhibit.
3) The gallery collects pieces of classical or modern art and charges the public a fee to enter and view these pieces. Some examples of galleries that work this way include the Museum of Modern Art, The Louvre, and the Dali Museum.
4) The gallery exhibits an artist's work with the intention of selling some of it. They then take a commission fee out of the total sale price. How much this fee is depends on the gallery and what type of contract the artist signed.
