But everyone that's an artist wants to make money from it. And contract work back then is more akin to an artist nowadays doing commissions. The problem with pleasing shareholders is that, in all honesty, they don't give a shit about the art. All they care about is profit. If money was the only goal of the clients, then Michelangelo (or whomever he worked for) would have never been commissioned to paint the Sistine Chapel. They would have just paid some schmuck to paint it grey or something to save on money.

Not trying to be confrontational, just trying to make my point more clear.
