Filippo Brunelleschi
Opis
A comprehensive study of the important Florentine architect and sculptor Filippo Brunelleschi (1377i'1/21446). Art historian Eugenio Battisti considers Brunelleschii'1/2s contribution to Renaissance culture, discussing his experiments with perspective and his development of a rational architectural language from his study of antiquity. The book is a detailed record of all Brunelleschii'1/2s major works including The Foundling Hospital (c.1419i'1/245), the Pazzi Chapel (c1441i'1/21460) and his remarkable dome of S Maria del Fiore (c.1420i'1/21436). It also includes his military projects and his work as a goldsmith and sculptor.
