Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo's painting had brought a great change to the world of art while the other painters' may hadn't. For example Michelangelo designed the dome of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome and this had a great influence on the architectural style, while Leonardo da Vinci's works developed a new painting style - using a dark three-dimensional effect.
I think the book uses these Renainssance men as examples because the book wants us to learn about the development of art in this period.

Sunny, obviously these two men are exemplars of what the Renaissance had to offer, which is why we learn about them. But what makes them different than the elites from the Middle Ages?
