Patron-Artist Relations in the Renaissance The subject of artist-patron relations has been a touchy one since the beginning of the phenomenon. Nowadays it does not take such great precedence‚ as the artist leans more toward a personal‚ individual type of art typical of freelance. Serious commissions exist only in public art and architecture‚ where the needs and feelings of a large group are considered. Artist and patron must work out a compromise as to what is acceptable and also respects

Alienation in Joyce’s novel is also depicted in many other forms‚ as we can see early in the book from his exclusion as young boy.

What Does It Mean to be an Artist? When I was in High school‚ I took Art History AP‚ where I studied crude sketches on cave walls to Rembrandt’s Baroque paintings to Picasso’s weird looking Modernist paintings.

During the 17th century‚ the Netherlands appears to become a very powerful country‚ as well as from an economic and political point of view‚ or from a cultural point a view. Dutch artists come up with new styles of paintings and new techniques‚ and it seems that Dutch patrons give more freedom to artists‚ compared to Italian patrons.
