Commissioned Works of Art


Throughout the ages, artists have been commissioned to glorify some person, place, thing, or event. Some artists have built cathedrals in return for release from indentured servitude. Some have been artists strictly by appointment to kings and popes, sultans and lords. The commission is often a staple of the professional visual artists.
