There's no need to "bring it back" because we never "got rid of it". It's just a natural part of some people being wealthy - they have more time/resources to spend on various pursuits, including art and science. This is still true, although to a lesser degree, because everyone is much better off. 500 years ago, you could only pursue some things if you were born rich. Today, the field has greatly expanded, to everyone's benefit.
