| Italian artist Ambrogio Lorenzetti provided a view of life in the countryside in this fresco called Allegory of Good Government, painted from 1338-1339 in Siena. The peasants living in rural areas of Europe received little benefit from the literary and artistic developments of the Renaissance but were deeply affected by economic changes. As urban markets for agricultural products grew, a money-based economy began to replace the self-sufficient rural system of payment in service or kind. | ||||||
