An abstract is required. Brunelleschi bent his talent on architecture rather than sculpture. His professional career throughout dominated as an architect as his works mainly depict the evidence from new architectural classicism. He also reinvented the linear perspective principle in the art which had been discovered in ancient Greece. Through this perspective principles, many artists of that time used two-dimensional canvases and created three-dimensional illusions. something which depicted realism and was not seen before. As an architect, he was famous for rebuilding many military forts in Italy. He also designed machinery for his projects and created mechanisms that were hoist-like to support religious performances in churches. He died in 1446 and his tomb is in the Duomo. He holds a big name in history as an architect, engineer, and artist who had exceptional talents and who contributed to the Renaissance period (Patrick 149).

Figure 1 is the major architectural work of Brunelleschi for which he is famously known. It is called the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore and is the main church in the city of Florence, Italy. It was constructed in 1436 using marble and brick by the engineering techniques of Brunelleschi. The church is about 502ft high and 376ft wide (Prager 2).

Brunelleschi used his techniques and promised the creation of two domes where one would be nested into the other, and promised no elaborated or expensive scaffolding. He didn’t present his idea and technique as he feared that competitors would copy his ideas. Eventually, his 45 meters wide dome came out as the largest masonry dome ever seen. The dome was originally built by Arnolfo di Cambio using wood. Technical problems aroused when the dome had to be reconstructed. However, the dome designed by Brunelleschi is still dominating the city of Florence today and is considered to be a miracle of engineering and design considering it was built in the 15th century (Prager 2).

Brunelleschi suffered great difficulties when he took up the responsibility of building the dome.
