Patrons influenced the direction of art by employing artists for a short and longperiods of time. From the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the effect of
patrons on craftsmanship was astonishingly satisfactory. Painter Jan van Eyck
presented oil on material as another media. "For ages, oil would stay the ruling
mode for painting, liked in craftsmanship schools far into the nineteenth century
and a long ways past" (Noble, 2015).
There was a little shift in approach due to the fact that individuals of wealth other
than the Church were commissioning painters to paint for them. For a certain
something, oil on board has filled in fame because of its ability to depict reality.
Many customers, ranging from Dukes and Lords to ordinary yet affluent individuals,
want to acquire more personal works of art. This is when the oil entered the picture.
Oil paints were able to depict the texture and appearance of objects and people far
more precisely than fresco or any other sort of painting material available at the
time. Along with the normal spiritual, religious, or personal meditative art work,
there was an increase in desire for paintings that reflected power and money.
Margaret of Austria, Emperor Maximilian I's daughter, was betrothed towards the
new infant Charles VIII of France when she was three years old. She first emerged at
the age of 10, a year before her intended spouse disavowed her. The sitter's
devotion is proposed by the stunning pendant of a pelican examining its chest to
deal with its young blood, which is tended to by the enormous draping ruby, an
image of Christian establishment. These components are kept intact by a gold fleur-
de-lis.
Margaret holds a huge gold filigree Paternoster dot of her rosary and looks aside, in
all probability toward the object of her dedication, exhibiting her trust. This board in
all probability outlined the left half of a diptych, whose ordinary, presently lost,
subject might have been from Christ's Passion. (n.d., Metmuseum.org)
