All that relates to the current world, the contemporary artist tends to work on problems which is clean for him, in a personal and evocative form; other artists work their pictorial work on one or more sets of themes bases - approached by other artists or products of their imagination sets of themes which they will develop in the years, pretexts with a formal and progressive improvement; this being able to be seen like a form of confrontation with artists having already worked on these subjects. The borrowed form and the style are in this case, plastically different (Example of Van Gogh taking again the Millet angelus or the country scenes of kind).

" The Patron S, financing Arts, require of the artists to represent their person near the divine icons. This justifies their temporal power on the ground and the serfs by the spiritual power on the hearts.

This practice of the patronage by the representation in portrait was prolonged until the period of impressionism, this in spite of the advent of photography; many artists of reputation were solicited to represent their contemporaries, associating the reputation of the author with that of the silent partner, or fascinating pretext of their family life like recurrent theme (Picasso, Bonnard)

However, one can describe as patron any person acquiring or ordering one or more plastic works with artists without it being question of ordering of portrait, certain artists basing their reputation on the realization of works having little to do with this subject.
