Antwerp itself  was interesting to learn about because it was there that art started to be made for the market and not just commissions and patrons. Having such a market gave artists more creative freedom because their paintings were no longer being dictated by patrons. However, art meant for markets were also a gamble because it was not confirmed that their artwork would get bought. It was because of this that artists would fight or compete for sales but it was in an attempt to avoid such competition that artists would often try and find a niche that they could then refine. It was also during this time that name started to become more important because it was an identifier in the marketplace. One of the artists that resided in Antwerp and thrived in the market was Pieter Bruegel. Bruegel found his niche in that he would try and feature moral lessons in his paintings. For instance, his painting that is referred to as <em>Fall of Icarus<\/em> used Icarus&#8217; status as a symbol of hubris to depict a lesson. At one point, Bruegel even included 126 Netherlandish proverbs into a single painting. It was also in this new marketplace that copies would appear. Bruegel, for example, copied his own composition in order to sell more copies because it was popular. Even his son would copy his composition and sell it and people had no problem with this. Copies often times would be created by the artist themselves, their workshop, or just other artists that may have liked the composition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During today&#8217;s class, we mainly discussed Antwerp and the artists that were based there.
