Artist: Brunelleschi
Title: Dome
Location: Florence Cathedral, Italy
Date: 1417-‐36
Notes:The size of this dome was the biggest at the time. Brunelleschi studied the Pantheon to decide how the dome would be constructed. He ended up building a double layer dome,with brick at first since it was much lighter than stone. The lantern was up for a competition and Brunelleschi one that as well. Construction started a few months before his death, and was then forgotten about for 20 or so years when his friend completed it for him in 1461. |
