Renaissance Architecture
Renaissance Architecture
Renaissance architecture marked a deliberate return to the proportion and symmetry of classical Greece and Rome after centuries of Gothic building. Architects such as Brunelleschi and Palladio placed the human figure at the measure of design, reviving the column, dome, and pediment as expressions of humanist thought. The style flourished under the patronage of the papacy and the royal courts of Italy, France, and England. It became the shared architectural language of Renaissance Europe.
