Art has always been shaped by those with power and wealth to commission it.

Over the past millennium, the most significant patrons have been the Church, tradesmen, and governments—each leaving their imprint on the cultural landscape.

Artists have long relied on these patrons, and through their work, they’ve left an enduring mark on history.

I wonder: are we on the verge of a new artistic renaissance, or will the West continue to follow the DEI-driven vision charted by its governments?
