Abstract

The fact that painting was considered an art from the Renaissance onwards brought about a significan! change in the artist's social position. The painter became dissociated from the guild tradition, and was thus freed from the taxation imposed on artisans. Baroque artists and theoreticians in Spain capitalized on this situation. However, the social and economic improvements introduced in the 1 7th and 1 8th centuries by humanistic and court circles had wider repercussions and reached such towns as Baeza. These repercussions are analyzed in the present paper.
