Patrons, who were wealthy individuals such as popes and merchants, began funding artists and poets during the Renaissance. This allowed creative works to move away from solely focusing on religion and instead depict realistic representations of the human body and experiences of everyday life. Famous Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Donatello, Masaccio, and Da Vinci pioneered new techniques like perspective and realistic sculpture that revolutionized the arts. Writers also began producing satire and works depicting politics, money and other aspects of secular life.
