The transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age was marked by changes in Europe: trade intensified, as cities developed, a bourgeoisie became a very powerful social group, while a nobility and a client lost prestige. And, of course, these changes cause new ways of living and thinking in the world, or that result in a broad artistic and scientific movement called the Renaissance.

The development of new tools (eg paints, brushes, mortars), a better understanding of nature, anatomy, mathematics, the use of concepts such as “light and shadow” and perspective allowed these artists to create works (painting , sculpture, architecture, literature) that brilliantly expressed this new European mentality: dynamic, grandiose, naturalistic and anthropocentric.

All the transformations in the field of the arts aroused the interest of the bourgeoisie, who saw in this new proposal a mirror of their own values, and for this reason, many bourgeoisie started to sponsor the artists, being called patrons (protectors of the arts).
