∙ 11y agoReligion was then a more important factor in people's lives than today (in general). This means that it was very important for wealthy people to commisson artworks on religious subjects.

Answering "Describe the events leading up to the Protestant Reformation that caused religion to co-exist with politics?"
The reformers were trying to draw attention to the problems with the Catholic Church.
Religion and Politics were closely intertwined
I think that would be Calvinism.
The Renaissance and Reformation set the stage for the Enlightenment by challenging established authorities and promoting critical thinking. Renaissance humanism emphasized individualism and the pursuit of knowledge, while the Reformation sparked debates about the role of religion in society. These movements laid the groundwork for Enlightenment thinkers to question tradition, embrace reason and science, and advocate for individual rights and secularism.
At first, religion became more popular, but as the Renaissance began, the importance of religion started to decline. Especially when the Gutenberg printing press was invented, people referred to read the Bible for themselves than the clergy to read it for them. And when the Protestant Reformation came along, many of the townspeople wanted to rebel against the church because they wanted changes to be made to their church.
It brought new ideas and thoughts, it wasn't all religion anymore.

The Reformation brought about another large break in Christianity, forming the third and final major branch of Christianity: Protestantism. The Protestant Reformation was most popular in Northern Europe, where new religions began forming because people believed the Catholic Church was corrupt. The formation of another large branch of Christianity led to wars between nations over religion, most notably the Thirty Years' War.
Catholicism was the religion of the Catholic Reformation.
The Renaissance was a culture movement in Europe, more specifically Western Europe. It was a time when Europeans made great interest in literature, politics, art, science, and religion.
Revival of the Ancient Roman and Greek ideas, philosophies, art, etc. Columbus with the "New World". Catholic Church should not be the universal religion (Reformation).
Europeans mostly study (practice) the catholic religion.
The Europeans were inspired by the Greco-Roman times, so they created the Renaissance that helped to spread sophisticated culture throughout Europe. However, Northern Europe wasn't affected by the Renaissance until later on, when they got into Secularism (the principle that possessions are first to religion).
