Pazzi Chapel

The Pazzi Chapel, located in Florence, Italy, is a Renaissance-era building designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. Built between 1440 and 1460, it features harmonious, classical proportions and a simple, elegant rectangular layout topped with a central dome. The chapel was intended as a private prayer space for the Pazzi family and exemplifies Brunelleschi’s mastery of perspective and symmetry. Its balanced design and use of light create a serene, contemplative atmosphere, representing the early Renaissance ideals of harmony between architecture, art, and humanist principles.
