Filippo Brunelleschi

Filippo Brunelleschi was a pioneering Italian architect and engineer from the Renaissance period, best known for designing and constructing the dome of Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore). His innovative use of linear perspective revolutionized art, and his engineering techniques enabled the creation of the large, complex dome without external supports. Brunelleschi's work combined artistic mastery with practical engineering, making him a key figure in architecture and shaping modern construction methods. His ideas influenced both art and architecture, leaving a lasting legacy in Florence and beyond.
