Answer:
The correct answer is option D. Created for wealthy patrons.
Explanation:
With the Renaissance, cities such as Florence became one of the wealthiest in Europe and rich merchants became patron of arts.
Unlike previously, when most art was created for the Catholic Church or Political figures, Renaissance Art, including paintings and sculptures were funded by rich local business people and noblemen.
It became fashionable for people to fund these projects, to show off not only their wealth, but their high tastes and to leave a lasting legacy for their family name.
The Renaissance era resulted in some of the most beautiful art works in human history.
