Filippo Brunchelleschi, who was born on 1377, was one of the key figures that contributed to the renaissance architecture. This Italian architect is known for building the dome in the Santa Maria del Fiore. During his early years, Brunchelleschi was coached and trained as a gold smith and sculptor. Enrolled in the Arte della Seta, this silk merchant guild, which also include goldsmith, he was designated a master goldsmith. In his early architectural years, Filippo rediscovered the principles of linear perspective that was lost during the middle ages. All his work was displayed with two painted panels of the Florentine streets and building. With this principle in place, artists were able to use two-dimensional canvases to construct three-dimensional
Even though Gian Lorenzo Bernini wasn't the only sculptor of his time, he should go down in history as one of the best sculptors because of the Apollo and Daphne, and the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, which were two of his best sculptures. Not only was Bernini a great sculptor, but he also did many other things like painting, designed stage sets, wrote plays, and did some architect. He also maintained good relationships with people, and had great faith. Bernini went to religious exercises and had a lighter personality which he showed in some of his works as a sense of humor.
In the womb of his mother's belly, getting an ultrasound, which is one of the many best sights in the world while having a baby, the parents hearts dropped when they saw what was going to happen to their child. The parents’ know that one day they would have to go back to the doctor to help them with this difficulty. Born with a child with a disorder or a disease is one the most devastating moments. Giovanni Cascio was born with a disease called arthrogryposis, a neuromusculoskeletal disorder that affects various joints in the body.
Filippo Brunelleschi was one of the leading architects and engineers of the Italian Renaissance and is best known for his work on the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. Filippo was assigned the job of creating the dome of the cathedral of Florence. This work took a lot of his time and a good portion of his life and the challenge was enormous, no other dome that size has ever been built in that era. The dome didn't just become an architect problem, but also an engineering problem. They didn't have the type of tools we have today to get something like that built. Filippo also invented and patented the new hoisting machine for raising the masonry required for the dome (Mueller, T. 2014). You’ll see this on a lot of tall commercial
Filippo Brunelleschi was in many senses a modern day entrepreneur in the Middle Ages. He is the architect and innovator responsible for building the Santa Maria del Fiore, arguably the greatest dome ever built. In the years leading up to and during the construction of the dome, his life was surrounded by managerial aspects.
One of the world’s most famous architects and engineers was born in the Italian city state of Florence sometime in 1377. Although he had a huge influence on building design and construction, and on art, we don’t know a lot about Filippo Brunelleschi’s early life. Nonetheless, he left buildings and artwork that still exist today, and he had two biographers who provided information about his work, from these we can learn a lot about this Renaissance genius. His most important work, the ll Duomo di Firenze (the Dome of the Florence Cathedral), was finished in 1436 and remains as one of the greatest symbols of the period. Before he started building this revolutionary structure, Brunelleschi studied the architecture of Roman buildings and monuments.
Around the early 1500’s and the late 1400’s there was a large amount of people sent to the New World. One explorer was a man named Giovanni Da Verrazzano, he went on several expeditions and was brutally murdered on his final adventure. Giovanni was sent to the New world by a king named francis l after waiting for many years. He was just one of the very many explorers of this time.
Brunelleschi's Dome is not only a worthy contribution to the Renaissance but it was a contribution to the world of art. His creation added an impression of intensity and proportion, which made people feel one with the painting itself. There was a clear contrast that reveals the advancements of the artwork since the Middle
Florence began to build a cathedral in 1296, in 1418 (122 years later) they confront a big problem: the enormous hole in the center of the building.
Brunelleschi’s Dome is the story of Fillipo Brunelleschi - or Pippo, as he was often known - and the ingenious methods he employed in raising the famous duomo over Santa Maria del Fiore. On August 19th in the summer of 1418, all the citizens of Florence, Italy were called upon to devise a solution for what was to be one of the greatest conundrums of the Renaissance - the vaulting of the cupola over the city’s new church. Santa Maria del Fiore, built upon the ruins of Santa Reparata, was to be the grandest and most lauded accomplishment in renaissance architecture. The vaulting of the dome was truly a daunting endeavor for any that toed up to the challenge. When Neri di Fiorivanti, the original Capo Maestri - or head architect for the project -
Brunelleschi’s dome is an engineering marvel, constructed in the 1400’s without the benefits of modern technology. Experts puzzle how Brunelleschi, accomplished the construction without the use of scaffolding to prevent the masonry from collapsing as the eight steep walls of the dome curved inward, and how he was able to get them to meet in the center top.
Brunelleschi solved a problem that was huge in the year 1418 in Florence, Italy. There was a cathedral that had begun to be built, that no one knew how to finish. The top of the building was needing to be covered, but due to its octagonal shape, the height of the building (which was already built), and originality of the building no one had any idea how to go about completing the roof. So a contest was put out to the city, many came forward with ideas on how to finish the building. Two big worries of the leaders of the city were cost of materials and the weight of the roof. Brunelleschi, came forward with a design that would alleviate much cost, compared to his competitors, and he was certain would not cave in. Many discoveries were made

Filippo Brunelleschi was an architect who created many great buildings. Some of those buildings include the Florence Cathedral and the Basilica di San Lorenzo, Firenze (The Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence). Donatello was a noted sculpture of the late Middle Ages leading into the early Renaissance. The Renaissance owes its beginning to the art created at the end of the Middle
Paolo was born in the city of Verona in 1528. Paolo’s father worked as a stonecutter and his mother was the daughter of a nobleman called Caliari. Although Paolo’s mother was an illegitimate daughter of the nobleman, Caliari, Paolo still adopted that as his name, becoming Paolo Caliari. Paolo was nicknamed “Veronese” after his birthplace, Verona. As a young boy, Veronese was trained as a stonecutter, like his father, but when he was fourteen Antonio Badile, a painter, began training Veronese as his apprentice. Because of Badile, Veronese gained a passion for paintings that included people and architecture mixed together, as well as a basic painting technique. Aside from Badile, several painters including, Giambattista Zelotti, Paolo Farinati,
Brunelleschi and Bernini represent two artists from two different eras that impacted Italy’s art and architecture. Brunelleschi was born under the name of Filippo di ser Brunellesco do Lippo Lapi during 1377 in Florence, Italy (“Filippo Brunelleschi”). Brunelleschi came from a middle class family, being that his father was a notary. While growing up, Brunelleschi received a formal education by taking math and literature courses; however, he always was drawn towards the arts and soon enrolled into an art school. The art school that he enrolled at was a silk merchant’s guild (PBS). During his schooling, Brunelleschi learned many techniques such as engraving, embossing, and mounting (PBS). In addition to the goldsmith training, he studied the
