I was really thinking of those works of art that we all know. Rich people usually commissioned the artists to produce art for them. Most people today still can't afford to pay the commission for a world-class artist. One of the things that makes art so valuable is its uniqueness (along with the artist’s skill).

We're far richer than our ancestors (materially, even if not spiritually). We don't have to be peasants in the sense of artistic deprivation. Besides, in many cultures, especially in the flowering of art in the middle ages, the common home was decorated to a greater degree than are ours. But they had a faith we do not possess, and faith tends to increase artistic culture. Also, it is important to note that newer structures built even by the rich lack, for the most part, these ornamentations. Some might be called "artistic" in the "modern" sense, but they certainly do not have this type of traditional flourish.

Regular people were lucky to have their walls particularly well-spackeld with mud. So now our houses have come a long way, but most are still not adorned with fine art. A lot of people continue to toss dirt up on their walls, but what do you expect? We're just peasants.
