Introduction, paragraph one [sources #1 and #2 ] By: Kameron Sanders-Coulthard
The Renaissance artist that I chose is Filippo Brunelleschi. The reason why I decided to choose him is that I found his work in architecture very interesting(after I did a background check on him that is). Filippo Brunelleschi is well known for designing and building the dome on top of the Santa Maria del Fiore, or also known as the Duomo. Here are some interesting facts about Filippo Brunelleschi. One of the interesting facts about Brunelleschi is that he was the first modern engineer and inotive problem solver. Another is that his education was mostly on mathematics, and literature. Finally the last fun fact is that Brunelleschi's dead body was buried in the Santa …show more content…
Brunelleschi died on April 15, 1446 from sudden illness. Brunelleschi was the son of a lawyer and notary named Brunellesco Di Lippo, Filippo's mother was Giuliana Spini.(no information of wife or kids of any kind.) Brunelleschi was schooled in literature and mathematics to follow in his father's footsteps, but later decided to join the Arte della Seta, which included training for metalworkers. There was no information on his wife or kids if he had any. From 1402-1404 Brunelleschi traveled to the ruins of Rome with Donatello in order to study the ruined architecture, this is where Brunelleschi gained his inspiration for sculpting and …show more content…

Paragraph 5, Analyze another piece of art [ source #7 ]
This piece of art that I chose is the dome on top of the Santa Maria del Fiore, it was created in 1418. The reason why Brunelleschi created this gigantic dome was to cover the equally sized gigantic hole in the ceiling of the cathedral. Brunelleschi refused to state how and what he would use to achieve this massive goal, due to fear that someone would steal his idea and use them for themselves. The Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral can be found in modern day Florence, Italy.
Paragraph six.
My favorite piece of artwork by Filippo Brunelleschi, would be the dome on top of the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral, because of the skill put into the craftsmanship of the dome and it's lovely designs. This may have taught us how to successfully shown us how to support big domes and use them in daily
