Saint Peter Basilica

Filipo Brunelleschi challenged the accepted ideas in architecture when he went against traditional thought to construct the dome above the Florence Cathedral. His dome had no internal or external bracing, an idea thought to be impossible prior to this construction. Brunelleschi’s ideas incorporated Renaissance respect of past knowledge with the use of ancient mathematical concepts of geometry, which was in keeping with the humanistic return to ancient texts. The mathematical laws discovered by ancient Greek and Roman mathematicians also allowed Brunelleschi to accurately represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. Brunelleschi understood the importance of building on the knowledge of the past to create the future.

Before long all the churches, palaces, walls and bridges of Rome will be built out of our money. First of all, we should rear living temples, not local churches, and only last of all St. Peter’s, which is not necessary for us. We Germans cannot attend

The octagonal dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was built from Filippo Brunelleschi, of early Renaissance entirely as a self-supporting structure . This precision structure would be difficult to re-create today, even with modern and specialized tools, so it is one of the most studied historic structures. Massimo Ricci, Barry Jones and Andrea Sereni had a question: How Filippo Brunelleschi built the Dome?

It's evident that the architectural influence outlasted Justinian's life even up today. Examples of the use of high structure arches, and aesthetics such as the massive dome and luminous interior lighting are seen in other major architectural achievements such as the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, The Great Mosque in Damascus, St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Cupola in Florence, as well as St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Driven to establish himself as the rightful successors to Constantine and Agustus, Justinian wanted to leave an even larger historical mark with his judicial wisdom than he did with his building accomplishments. He wanted to carry out a legal reform more complete than that undertaken and failed by the past Roman Emperor

I studied about the dome that Filippo Brunelleschi built for a cathedral in Florence. The dome that he built for the cathedral had to span 150 feet across and was about 10 stories tall. This was built at the beginning of the Renaissance, so the early 1400’s. For the technology that was available at the time, it should have been impossible for him to be able to build what he built. Not only was the dome huge, but it also started over 100 feet above the ground on walls already built.

St. Patrick 's Cathedral in New York, built between 1853 and 1878 and is located in Midtown skyscraper district of New York, in the heart of the borough of Manhattan. It is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 50th Street , just steps from the Rockefeller Center and nine blocks away from Central Park. It is the main church of the Archdiocese of New York and was built in the nineteenth century in Gothic style on the plans of the architect James Renwick Jr. The height under the arch is 110 feet. The altars Saint Michel and Saint Patrick was made by Tiffany & Co; that of St. Elizabeth was designed by Paolo Medici of Rome.

The pope that I want to introduce is Pope Julius II. He is famous among hundreds of pope because he doesn’t take care of his spiritual pursuits very much. Instead of that, he contributed to the war and the western art at that time. He is famous also because he is apart from the corruption, and he has an extremely bad temper. He always lost his self control and be rude too.

The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is a Russian Orthodox cathedral in Moscow, Russia, and is situated a few blocks southwest of the Kremlin. This cathedral was opened in 1997, which was interestingly just in time to celebrate Moscow's 850th birthday. It is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world, with an overall height of 103 meters. It took over 40 years to build the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The original building of the cathedral was destroyed in 1931.

In the 608, the Pantheon was converted to a Christian church when Byzantine Emperor Phocas offered it to the Pope as a gift. While it is now officially Saint Mary of the Martyrs, the Pantheon will always be the Pantheon. Inside are the tombs of several worthy Italians, including Raphael and Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II, great unifier of Italy, and his son Umberto I. The structure was sacked relatively little with respect to the rest of the city, although ironically, in 1628, Pope Urban allowed Bernini to strip the bronze from the Portico and melt it down for his Baldacchio above the alter of Saint Peter 's.

"In 1418 the town fathers of Florence finally addressed a monumental problem they’d been ignoring for decades: the enormous hole in the roof of their cathedral. " This sets the stage for Brunelleschi to become a hero and master artisan. Brunelleschi had spent his life learning, as an apprentice goldsmith, he had learned and perfected techniques that were well ahead of the training he was given. He studied other areas of art as well, "Brunelleschi’s life seemed to have been one long apprenticeship for building the dome of unequaled beauty, usefulness, honor, and power that Florence yearned for." He, along with other actual architects applied to be the one to put a dome on the cathedral, and eventually one out.

Many buildings in the earlier days were built for the same reasons and by similar people, meaning the Hagia Sophia and Charlemagne’s Chapel don’t differ much in terms of being built. The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was originally built under Constantine the Great until it was demolished and rebuilt between 532 and 537 under the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (Hagia Sophia, Istanbul 1). Justinian’s Basilica is considered the perfect example of the Byzantine culture and the structures produced during its

The Medici will later use the Old Sacristy as a tomb for their family. This building was significant because it help set the tone for a new style of architecture. It was built around proportions and classical orders. Which become popular in the Italian Renaissance Era. It was completed around the year 1440, but

Now residing in a different area in St. Peter’s Basilica, it has completely lost all its context and meaning to viewers who come to see the piece. The statue was not made as an altarpiece by the artist, and so it should not be presented to the audience as such. The grave memorial should be moved to a more proper location where it can both be viewed at eye level, as it was intended, and regain its historical significance. The famous piece is nothing more than a devotional image at the present, and that should be changed. The Rome Pietà is a stunning piece and would hold even deeper meaning if presented in the proper

The Pantheon was first built with a rectangular plan but when Hadrian came in 125AD and rebuilt it, he added a dome. Currently, the Pantheon is used as both a church and also a historical heritage site. On the other hand, the Brunelleschi 's Dome is part of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, and it is one of the biggest churches in Florence which is in Italy (Mainstone, 1997). The construction of the church began in 1296

The basic plan for the basilica is a “Greek Cross plan.” There are five major domes in the church: one
