They sponsored artists and craftsmen such as Donatello, Botticelli, and Michelangelo and also dedicated chapels and churches. It was believed that these practices absolved the patrons of their sins. This was important to the Medici clan, as their money was made through money-lending, a practice that was condemned in the Bible.
