Giving all my points plzz describe the role patrons such as the medici family and the popes played in promoting renaissance art, architecture, and/or literature. find an example of a modern-day patron and explain how/what they support.

What role did the patrons of the arts play in the development of Renaissance ideas? They played a huge role because they practically paid for all art in ancient Rome during the Renaissance.During the Renaissance, great advances occurred in geography, astronomy, chemistry, physics, math, manufacturing, and engineering.

a person who supports with money, gifts, efforts, or endorsement an artist, writer, museum, cause, charity, institution, special event, or the like: a patron of the arts; patrons of the annual Democratic dance. a person whose support or protection is solicited or acknowledged by the dedication of a book or other work.

If this helps give brainiest please. Thanks :)
