Orderly arrangements ofcolumns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches,hemispherical domes, niches and aedicules replace the more complexproportional systems and irregular profiles of medieval buildings.Developed first in Florence, with Filippo Brunelleschi an one of itsinnovators, the Renaissance style quickly spread to other Italian cities andthen to France, Germany, England russia and elsewhere. Characteristics of Renaissance architecture The obvious distinguishing features of Classical Roman architecture are adopted by Renaissance architects. However, the forms and purposes of buildings had changed over time. So had the structure of cities. Among the earliest buildings of the reborn Classicism were churches of a type that the Romans had never constructed. Neither were there models for the type of large city dwellings required by wealthy merchants of the 15th century. Conversely, there was no call for enormous sporting fixtures and public houses such as the Roman had built. The ancient orders were analysed and reconstructed to server new purposes. 11. PLANThe plans of renaissance buildings have a square, symmetrical appearance in which proportions are usually based on a module. Within a church the module is often the width of an aisle. The need to integrate the design of the plan with the facade was introduced as an issue in the work of Filippo Brunelleschi, but he was never able to carry this aspect of his work into fruition.FACADEFacade are symmetrical around theirvertical axis. Church facades are generallysurmounted by a pediment and organizedby a system of pilasters, arches andentablatures. The columns and windowsshow a progression towards the center.COLUMNShe Roman orders of columns are usedTuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian andComposite. The orders can either bestructural, supporting an arcade orarchitrave, or purely decorative, setagainst a wall in the form of pilasters.During the Renaissance, architectsaimed to use columns, pilasters, andentablatures as an integrated system.DETAIL Courses, mouldings and all decorative details are carved with great precision. Studying and mastering the details of the ancient Romans was one of the important aspects of Renaissance theory. The different orders each required different sets of details. Some architects were stricter in their use of classical details than others, but there was also a good deal of innovation in solving problems, especially at corners. Moldings stand out around doors and windows rather than being recessed, as in Gothic Architecture. Sculptured figures may be set in niches or placed on plinths. They are not integral to the building as in Medieval architecture. DOMES The dome is used frequently, both as a very large structural feature that is visible from the exterior, and also as a means of roofing smaller spaces where they are only visible internally. 12. WALLSExternal walls are generally of highly-finished ashlar masonry, laid in straightcourses. The corners of buildings are oftenemphasised by rusticated quoins.ArchesArches are semi-circular or (in the Mannerist style) segmental. Arches are oftenused in arcades, supported on piers or columns with capitals. There may be asection of entablature between the capital and the springing of the arch.CEILINGS Roofs are fitted with flat or coffered ceilings. They are not left open as in Medieval architecture. They are frequently painted or decorated.DOORS Doors usually have square lintels. They may be set within an arch or surmounted by a triangular or segmental pediment. Openings that do not have doors are usually arched and frequently have a large or decorative keystone. Florence CathedralThe dome has a diameter of morethan 40 meters and more than 100meters. The top of the dome has a ball and a cross of 80 tons.The belfry is 85 meters highand it has a bell in the building. The chapel has more than 150 meters long. 13. 5, Dante Introduction Dante was born in 1265 in Florence. At the age of 9 he met for the first time the eight-year-old Beatrice Portinari, who became in effect his Muse, and remained, after her death in 1290, the central inspiration for his major poems. Between 1285, when he married and began a family, and 1302, when he was exiled from Florence, he was active in the cultural and civic life of Florence, served as a soldier and held several political offices.Divine Comedy Settings The action takes place in 1300. It begins in the Forest of Darkness on Good Friday, the day commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, and ends the following Thursday. When Dante starts his journey, he is 35 years old exactly half the biblical life span of "three score years and ten." From the Forest of Darkness, Dante proceeds through Hell and Purgatory, then ascends into Heaven. Characters . Dante: The main character, or protagonist, of the poem is the author himself. No other epic poets before himincluding Homer and Vergilhad made themselves the main characters of their poems. Vergil (Virgil): The Roman poet Publius Vergilius Maro, or Vergil, escorts Dante through Hell and Purgatory. He symbolizes human reason. Vergil (70-19 B.C.), a poet Dante admired, wrote the great Latin epic The Aeneid, which chronicled the exploits of the legendary Trojan hero Aeneas, who escaped Troy after the Trojan War and settled in Italy. There, his descendants founded Rome. Beatrice: Beatrice Portinari (1265-1290), believed to be the daughter of banker Folco Portinari, guides Dante into the celestial realm. Beatrice, who represents faith and grace, was Dante's first love, and he never forgot her even after he married Gemma Donati and Beatrice married Simon de Bardi. St. Bernard: A French Cistercian monk and abbot, St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) guides and instructs Dante when the poet reaches the highest region of heaven. Bernard supported the ascendancy of Pope Innocent II against Anacletus II, an antipope. He preached in favor of the Second Crusade, strongly opposed heresy, and wrote many hymns that remain popular today. 14. Vita NuovaThe Vita Nuova is an anthology of Dantes early poems collected together and linked with aframe in prose, which is also a comment on the poems. Its divided into 42 chapters and iswritten in Italian language. The title means "new life" or better "life renewed by love". In fact thiswork is about Dantes love for Beatrice (Bice di Folco Portinari); this love is described with theStilnovo criterion and produces a spiritual renew in Dante. It is also a sort of poeticalautobiography, which documents young Dantes adhesion to Stilnovo ideals. The work beginswith Dantes first encounter with Beatrice, when shes nine years old. Nine years later she willfirst greet him. From that moment on, Dante decides to begin praising her with his poems. Hehas many visions of her, which reveals him that she will prematurely die and she will ascend toHeaven. When it happens, Dante decides to stop writing poems about her until he will be able towrite higher poetry. Convivio The Convivio is a philosophical essay composed in the years between 1304 and 1307 (after Dantes exile). Some parts are in poetry and some others in prose and its written in Italian language. Its formed by four parts (four treatises) and is unfinished. The title means "banquet": in fact, in the first book, Dante metaphorically represents this work as a banquet made of wisdom, where the parts in poetry represent the courses and the ones in prose are the bread. The guests to this banquet are all the ones who are eager for knowledge but are too busy doing politics to study. Thats why Dante has written the Convivio in Italian, so that everybody can understand it (at those times, the essays were usually written in Latin language). (See also the Cicero and Dante page for info about Ciceros influence on Dantes Convivio). In the second book, Dante explains that, just after Beatrices death, he has begun studying deeply philosophy and loving this subject. So, he personifies the philosophy in a gentle woman, who he imagines to love. In the third book he carefully describes this woman, again using Stilnovo criteria. He also defines philosophy as a loving use of wisdom (book III, XII, 12). In the fourth book, he first defines nobility as something you dont inherit but you must gain from God, acting well and being pure. Then, he anticipates some political ideas, which will be then improved in the Monarchia.Monarchia The Monarchia is a political essay written in Latin language, divided into three books. The title is the Latin word for "monarchy" (it is also the Italian word for the same thing, even if in Italian it is pronounced with a different stress). The monarchy is in fact Dantes political choice: he thinks that the best form of government is a universal monarchy or, in other words, a universal empire. In the first book, Dante states that the Empire is necessary, since its the only way peace can be maintained. In fact the Emperor owns every material good and so has no greed (cupidigia), which is the real cause for wars and struggles. The second book is about the Roman Empire: according to Dante it was founded by divine will. The third book explains how the power must be divided. According to Dante, God directly gives the power both to the Pope and to the Emperor: to the former the religious or spiritual power, to the latter the political or temporal power. There must be no interference of each auctoritas to the other. Therefore, the Emperor must assure the earthly happiness to the man, while the Pope must prepare him for after-life happiness.
