It was also during this time that Spain began to interact more with other cultures and art as the accession of the Bourbon dynasty occurred. Decorative pieces rose in demand among churches and households. However, these pieces stayed within traditional forms of representation. Juan Alonso Villabrille y Ron demonstrated this kind of work throughout his life. His depictions of agonizing saints with extreme realism is very representative of the common art movements occurring across Spain. Commissions for this kind of work ranged from prominent households, to royal families, to monumental churches. Decoration was a necessity for this kind of culture as people strained for emotional and religious pieces.
