rich families paid for the creation of statues, painting, beautiful buildings learning, such as universities and hospitals.
During the Renaissance, wealthy merchants paid artists to work for them, becoming their patrons. This patronage allowed artists to focus on their craft and produce significant works of art, often reflecting the values and interests of their benefactors. As a result, many masterpieces from this period were created under the support of these influential individuals, contributing to the flourishing of art and culture during the Renaissance.
Your question gave the answer. Because they are artists and make things others can't, so they need to be paid for their work and art.
Whoever owns the painting will 'get a cut' as you put it. If the artist owns the painting (not sold it off to someone else) then he will get paid.
During the renaissance, women were not only respected more than they were in the middle ages, but they were also given more opportunity to live life the way they wanted. Although they were given many more options, they were still very much subservient to men. They were expected to marry, and in their marriages, were expected to take care of the kids, make all the food, hand make the clothing, and ultimately take care of their husband. Women were respected to be chaste, and ultimately be tidy, beautiful, and obedient. Although many people believed that women were not effected by the renaissance, they very much were, and soon, womens jobs began to differentiate from mens jobs, although they were still paid less.
