2. Art and PatronageArt and Patronage
 Italians were willing to spend a lot of
money on art.
/ Art communicated social, political, and spiritual
values.
/ Italian banking & international trade interests
had the money.
 Public art in Florence was organized and
supported by guilds.
Therefore, the consumption of art was used as a
form of competition for social & political status!
