One simple reason: people don't value artists the same way they did back then, and artists need to eat.

Most of these sculptures (and the most impressive works of art in general) were commissioned by wealthy families, nobles, emperors, etc. Not to mention, many of these artists were born in favorable conditions. See, let's talk about these sculptures:

1: David of Michelangelo. Michelangelo's father was the town's judicial administrator. His family was bankers for generations (albeit smaller banks, still far above "peasants"). Later in life, he moved to Florence, which was basically the place to study arts. Art, in general, was really favored by the wealthy there: the council, merchants, and other rich people. Need I say more about his incredibly beneficial circumstances?

2: Abduction of Proserpina, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This was commissioned by the Cardinal Scipione Borghese. I could end the argument here, but his father always encouraged him in his pursuit for art, and he even got various patrons from an early age. Are you beginning to see the pattern here?

3: Corradini's Modesty. I don't know much about Corradini, but he also had various patrons. Curious, huh?

4: Ugolino and His Sons, by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Jean had access to some of the best education he could get. His first studies were under François Rude, a famous sculptor at the time. I think it's enough, right?

The fact is that back then, the wealthy were more than willing to throw a fuck ton of money at artists, and they were willing to wait YEARS to get masterpieces. Compare this to now, where people barely want to pay you 10 USD/h and expect masterpieces in 2 weeks. Hell, even if your work is among the best in history, odds are, you're never gonna find a patron. Sure, PATREON is a thing, but even then, people are barely able to afford a 3$ monthly subscription for each artist they would like to support. When they are able to, they would also need to be willing to, and there aren't that many people who are both willing and with stable enough condition to support us.

Yeah, I would probably be capable of making a sculpture like this, and I definitely can make highly detailed oil paintings. The thing is: it's not worth it, because at the end of the day, I need to eat, and I can't eat if I am working on something that can take years without getting paid anything for it; or being paid as little that it might as well be for free.

@meganroseruiz Oh how much I desire to do just that, however, I rolled a nat 1 in just about everything needed to get there except in art

[Austin "Scooter" Windish @scooterulez]

@OneRadChee And he specialized in dining room and kitchen installation, a unique job that almost no one knows how to effectively do as most are rough builders, like framing, drywall, electrical, basically the start. He finishes the job

[Austin "Scooter" Windish @scooterulez]

@OneRadChee In most jobs, but really important in construction work, is that if you specialize in a very niche job, you are almost 100% guaranteed the job. My dad does work for restaurants ike Tacobell, Burger King, Chipotle, etc., (1/2)
