Question

If you were a Renaissance patron, explain which artist you would have supported and why. (Response must be 4 or more sentences long)

Answer 1

Art was a major part of Renaissance life because there were people who were willing to support it: the patrons. The wealth, personal vanity, and new levels of education in society all supported a growing culture of patronage, championed by the princes, or lords of Italian city-states and other wealthy citizens.
