Great Cathedral Mystery

    One of the most representative structures of the Italian Renaissance is the Santa Maria de Fiore. It is a cathedral created by Filipino Brunelleschi and in the documentary it will be analyzed for its visual effect of being able to stand on its own. The cathedral is of great importance today for its cultural value. It emphasizes its meaning, value and the inspirations that Filipino Brunelleschi had to create the cathedral. The two ornamental elements that Filipino had to create the Cathedral La Santa Maria de Fiore are: the Gothic style and Roman decoration. 

    Brunnelleschi use the gothic style to design the cathedral so that it has a higher visual effect. Putting these elements in the dome, the entrance, the interior ceiling and the columns in a punctuated arched way. As they mention that the use of an internal glaze that is commonly seen in artistic styles of the Christian religion, in churches it also represents classism. I adopt diverse medieval elements in Italy. Which was separating the medieval and beginning to anatgonize the Gothic style and preferring the classical style. Experts noted that the structure has a geometric shape, a special system shape used in Western Europe in the Middle Ages. On the one hand, as I mentioned, I also use decoration to create homes.

    The two successors of Filippo Brunelleschi named Bramante and Palladio were inspired to unite the trend of the Gothic style with the classical Roman Mediterranean style. They also created the cathedral with the ideology of creating something new. The dome is a symbol of the new inspired Roman Pantheon style of adopting the recess in the ceiling to provide lighting. Thus preventing the ceiling from collapsing due to its weight. The adherence of classical columns, the equitable space, the introduction of round structures and breaking the rules and creating something innovative are the innovations to the Renaissance classism.    

    In conclusion, I consider that to be a cathedral I admire that there is more than one thinker and creator here because creativity triumphs. Besides being one of the most popular architectures in European history, the cathedral symbolizes the combination of classical and medieval styles. This union is crucial in the creation of modern style.
