Art and architecture we used as a symbol of wealth, the invention of a ‘renaissance man’ (someone who was good at many things) encouraged the wealthy and elite to look toward decorative arts and literature. You can even look further to the aquaducts that the romans built to show their dominance and wealth to the outside world
