Indeed, I agree! That's why, for me, the indie vs. publisher dichotomy doesn't make much sense in the long term. I wonder what the artists of the time thought of commissioned works such as Leonardo's The Last Supper. Later movements were defined by eschewing religious iconography and realism, etc. Today that painting is revered for various reasons but its significance is well understood... and perhaps time was the largest contributing factor.
