DUOMO CATHEDRAL.. FLORENCE...ITALY

Brunelleschi Dome

Imagine... Spending years constructing this amazing Cathedral with a gigantic hole in the ceiling for a massive dome, knowing the technology, knowledge & skill did not actually exist to build the dome. About a hundred years passed before the dome was able to be designed & constructed by Brunelleschi. If you enjoy my work, please comment.

The Duomo. Florence cathedral has the largest brick dome ever built. It’s so large that when they started building the commissioners did not know how it would be built, they had faith that someone would come up with a solution. That someone was a jeweller who kind of bullshitted a bit …Filippo Brunelleschi but he worked it out. Nice! #florence #florencecathedral #watercolour #watercolours #watercolor_sketch #illustration #archlovers

How did a hot-tempered goldsmith with no formal architectural training create the most miraculous edifice of the Renaissance?

EARLY RENAISSANCE, Brunelleschi; section of Santa Maria del Fiore. # To make the construction design of the dome more difficult, a drum had been built with large round windows in the sides. That means, lateral thrusts could not be brought to the ground through side vaults,as at the Hagia Sophia. It would have been impossible to build a wooden framework strong enough to support such a dome during construction, which was why the dome was not built by 1418.#
