| | It is a mistake to suppose that European culture was secularized in the sixteenth century as a result of the Renaissance or the Reformation. | | | In the seventeenth century, however, the new Protestant bourgeois culture was only beginning to assert its social and political independence, and in Europe as a whole the old social structure of Medieval Christendom survived with comparatively little change. | | | The Baroque culture of Spain and Austria was that of a society of princes and nobles and peasants and priests which found its center in palaces and monasteries—even in palace-monasteries such as the Escorial— and left a comparatively small place to the tradesman and the manufacturer. |
