Brunelleschi

Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) was an Italian architect and engineer, pivotal in the early Renaissance. He is best known for designing the dome of Florence's Cathedral (the Duomo), which remains an architectural marvel. Brunelleschi introduced linear perspective, revolutionizing art by creating the illusion of depth on flat surfaces. His innovative techniques and understanding of geometry laid the groundwork for modern architecture, influencing countless structures and artists. Brunelleschi's work embodies the Renaissance spirit of inquiry and creativity, bridging classical ideals with new, human-centered designs.
