Abstract

The article aims to explore the evolution of the concept of the artist from the Renaissance to the modern era, focusing on how cultural, philosophical, and socio-economic factors have redefined the artist's role in Western society. The study examines the shift from viewing artists as artisans or servants of religion and power to recognizing them as autonomous creators embodying individualism, creativity, and genius.

To achieve this, a multidisciplinary methodology was employed, integrating historical analysis, philosophical examination, and socio-cultural contextualization. The research draws on primary sources such as archival documents, artistic manifestos, and philosophical texts, alongside secondary sources including critical essays and historical analyses. The study's theoretical framework is grounded in concepts from art philosophy, socio-cultural theory, and intellectual history.

The results highlight significant transformations in the artist's status and self-perception, emphasizing the impact of Enlightenment ideas on creativity and individualism, the influence of socio-economic changes on artistic autonomy, and the evolving relationship between artists and their patrons. The article concludes that these shifts have had a profound and lasting impact on Western art philosophy and contemporary understandings of art and the artist.
