Wealthy patrons spent money to help artists and architects create works of genius.
They provided the funds to pay for the churches and paid/commisioned the painters/artists for their work. Without them men like Da Vinci and Michelangelo wouldn't haven't been able to afford supplies or to devote their life to their art. The world would have lost the genius of these men and others.
