Abstract
Background. During the 18th century, a distinctive art style emerged, the Rococo, expression of frivolity and connoisseur taste, where little advances were made in the visual realm. The main objective of this paper is to present a theoretical model that relates royal patronage with artist’s creativity. Methods. This paper presents a theoretical model on the interaction between artists and gallerists of the 18th century, and it allows to study the optimal level of creativity applied by artists to their works. Results. The model predicts a positive relationship between royal patronage and creativity. Conclusions. The death of King Louis XIV and the consequent reduction in royal patronage could explain the decline, documented by art historians, in the level of complexity of art works produced during the Rococo period.// Antecedentes. Durante el siglo XVIII surgió un estilo distintivo de arte, el Rococó, expresión de frivolidad y juicio “conocedor”, donde hubo pocos avances en materia visual. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es establecer un modelo teórico que relacione la caída en el mecenazgo real para las artes con una disminución en la creatividad impregnada a las obras. Métodos. Se presenta un modelo teórico sobre la interacción entre artistas plásticos y galeristas del siglo XVIII, el cual permite estudiar el nivel de creatividad óptimo que los artistas impregnaban a sus obras de arte. Resultado. El modelo predice una relación positiva entre patronazgo real y nivel de creatividad. Conclusiones. La muerte del Rey Luis XIV y la consecuente reducción en el mecenazgo real podrían explicar la caída, documentada por los historiadores del arte, en el nivel de complejidad de las obras producidas durante el periodo Rococó.
