From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Patronage is the support, encouragement, privilege and often financial aid that an organization or individual bestows to another. In the history of art, arts patronage refers to the support that kings or popes have provided to musicians, painters, and sculptors. It can also refer to the right of bestowing offices or church benefices, the business given to a store by a regular customer, and the guardianship of saints. The term derives from the Latin patronatus, the formal relationship between a Patronus and his Clientes. In some countries the term is used to describe political patronage, which is the use of state resources to reward individuals for their electoral support. Some patronage systems are legal, as in the Canadian tradition of allowing the Prime Minister to appoint the heads of a number of commissions and agencies; in many cases, these appointments go to people who have supported the political party of the Prime Minister. As well, the term may refer to a type of corruption or favoritism in which a party in power rewards groups, families, ethnicities for their electoral support using illegal gifts or fraudulently-awarded appointments or government contracts.

Q. How was the patronage system used to support artists during the Renaissance, Baroque, and Enlightenment? Asked by marnold517 - Fri Feb 10 13:05:00 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, painters and sculptors working in Italy and the Low Countries (modern Belgium and Holland) had perfected a number of techniques that allowed them to render nature and the human form more successfully than ever before. Chief among these developments had been the early fifteenth-century discovery of techniques of linear perspective. In the years following 1400 in Florence, the painter Masaccio and the sculptors Ghiberti and Brunelleschi had perfected a set of geometric rules for rendering three-dimensional space on a two-dimension picture plane. Somewhat later, the humanist and artist Leon Battista Alberti set these rules down in a treatise entitled On the Art of Painting.

Q. Why did patronage change in the 19th century European artistic world? Asked by fuzzywazzzy - Sat Mar 3 22:31:56 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Middle class came into its own and acheived dominance in French, especially, society at this time. They began to patronize and purchase art, and the art began to change to meet the desires of its buyers. "People's museums" became more common and art collecting became mainstream. People could even rent a painting for a week or two to impress their friends or for their daughters to practice copying it during their art lessons. The 19th century saw lots of things that were once reserved to the upper class, because of restraints of time and money to the lower classes, suddenly available to the middle class. Hope that helps.
