| Summary: | Cardinal Pole's patronage makes an important test case as the study of patronage becomes an increasingly important part of the study of the Renaissance. Pole's patronage was "abnormal" in that it was conducted much more in terms of ideology than of material expectations and rewards. The explanation of the peculiar shape of Pole's patronage is twofold: (1) he was always short of cash, and (2) from very early on his clients regarded him as an icon, to whose burnishing they willingly contributed without making many further demands. Although a failure by the usual standards of patronage, Pole enjoyed much greater success both then and subsequently as an emblem/patron of a particular set of religious beliefs. |
