Exercise 5

Renaissance

When most people think of the Renaissance, they might think of artists like Michaelangelo, Raphael, or
Leonardo da Vinci, but they often overlook on of the very important figurs of the Renaissance: Fillippo
Brunelleschi was born in Florence, Italy in 1377. He is considered the best archetect and engineer of the
Renaissance. His impressive accomplishments are a tistament to the following one’s dream, preserving
in the face of obstacles, and realizing one’s vision.

The most difficult undertaking of Brunelleschi’s carreer was the dome of Florence Cathedral, which took
sixteen years to construct. A major blow to the progrress of the construction happened in 1428.
Brunelleschi had designed a special ship to carry the one hundred tons of marble needed for the dome.
He felt this would be the inexpensive way to transport the marble, but the unthinkable happened. The
ship went down to the bottom of the water, taking all the marble with it to the bottom of the river.
Brunelleschi was really sad. Nevertheless, he did not give up. He held true to his vission of the
completed dome. Filippo Brunelleschi completed construction of the domme of the Florence Cathedral
in 1446. His influence on artists and architects alike was felt strongly during his lifetime and can be felt in
this day and age.
