Art made for the open market meant that there was more competition because not only were there more buyers there were also a lot more artists. This meant artists had to specialize their craft to appeal to a niche group of buyers. One artist that created art for the open market was Pieter Bruegel the Elder who created a series of 120 Netherlandish Proverbs. In this series of artwork, Bruegel painted several works of art that have warnings against being hubris and too prideful. These types of works of art are most relatable to ordinary people which opens up another category of paintings: genre paintings. The rise of genre paintings allowed for not only biblical figures and the wealthy to be painted, but also people of lower class and such as in <em>Ill Matched Lovers<\/em> by Quentin Massys. Furthermore, although the art produced is not strongly religious there are still similar themes such as self-reflecting and not being vain. These messages are loosely consistent with the depictions of the <em>Last Judgement <\/em>where a person&#8217;s character is being judged and serves as a warning to people still alive to not be too full of themselves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In class on Tuesday, we discussed the shift of artwork from personalized commissioned artwork to art made for the open market.
