Cards Term Church of San Spirito Definition Florence, Italy 1434 to 1482 Filippo Brunelleschi Heavier and more sculptural in effect than its predecessor (S. Lorenzo), S. Spirito is also simpler with regard to ornament and embellishment. The soffits of the arches, for example, and the impost blocks atop the capitals of the nave colonnade, are without carved relief. This emphasis on form without decorative overlay, on the depth of the wall, and on the three-dimensional character of the membering, reflected an escalating Classicism in Brunelleschi's work during the 1430s." Term Farnese Palace Definition http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Antonio_da_Sangallo.html sangallo the younger 1534 "Palazzo Farnese, Rome, is the most imposing Italian palace of the sixteenth century. The 56 m (185 ft) façade, occupying the longer side of a spacious piazza, is three storeys tall (recalling Florentine palaces) and thirteen bays wide. It is built of brick with strong stone quoins and has a heavily rusticated portal. Each storey has different window frames (alternating pediments for the piano nobile) placed in dense rows against the flat neutral wall surface, which enhances the sense of scale. The crowning cornice was substantially enlarged by Michelangelo (who also designed the window over the portal) and casts a heavier shadow onto the façade than that envisaged by Sangallo. Sangallo's spectacular three-aisled vestibule (c. 1520-), inspired for example by Roman nymphaea, with its central barrel vault supported on Doric columns, is notable for the sculptural quality of surface." Term Ospedale Degli Innocenti Definition http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Filippo_Brunelleschi.html Filippo Brunelleschi Florence, Italy 1424 to 1445 "...Brunelleschi was designing buildings that have become synonymous with the genesis of Renaissance architecture. His Ospedale degli Innocenti, a foundling hospital begun c.1419 on property acquired by the Silk Merchants' Guild, is generally regarded to be the earliest monumental expression of the new style. Although it is related to Italian Romanesque and late Gothic architecture, its novel features minimized the buildings' affiliation with medieval styles. Tuscan trecento hospitals were often designed with arcaded porticoes, and Brunelleschi retained this feature for the Innocenti. But he eliminated the old-fashioned balustrade upon which the columns rested, changed the polygonal shafts to cylinders, and transformed stylized "pressed-leaf" capitals into rich Corinthianesque foliage."
