During the Renaissance, people acquired goods through a combination of local production and trade. Markets in towns and cities flourished, where artisans and merchants sold handmade products and imported goods. Trade routes expanded, including overland and maritime paths, facilitating the exchange of spices, textiles, and other commodities from distant lands. Additionally, the rise of patronage systems allowed wealthy individuals to sponsor artists and craftsmen, further stimulating the economy and access to goods.
