The Medieval Era, where the artistic market was dominating and art was created and impressed
many in different ways, allowed a new wealthy class, called the tradesmen, to emerge from the
society. By observing the common interest from the people in the Medieval Era, the tradesmen
used their artistic skills to impress many. From architecture and dances to painting and literature,
the tradesmen pleased the rich and wealthy people. As a result, the artistic market thrilled and
dominated, and the tradesmen gained a lot from sales and performances. A lot of tradesmen
became extremely wealthy and influenced others. In addition, some tradesmen were experts in
different places and industries. Despite their busy schedules during their days, the experts used
their free time to improve their artistic skills such as playing a musical instrument and reading
books. With their artistic skills, they began to join the artistic movement and showed off their
skills to the people. Since the experts tended to be successful in the society, they started to desire
and purchase expensive items to show off their wealth. In return, they drove the economy during
the Medieval Era. Before the Medieval Era and the artistic movement, arts were sold in few
copies and often times quite expensive. However, after the start of the artistic movement, the
demand for art rose and art pieces were found easier. Furthermore, the movement allowed others
to become more interested in different forms of art and influenced the start of the Renaissance
Era.
