A major scandal at the British Museum in London has called into question the authority and security of one of the world’s most important museums, an institution that enjoys enormous international respect and houses a collection of over 8 million works of art and historical artefacts. A scandal that comes on top of other thorny issues related to its collections and the claim of some foreign countries to have works of art returned that were stolen many decades ago.
If there is one artist you must know if you love art, it is the greatest of Italian Renaissance architects: Filippo Brunelleschi. Born in Florence in 1377, Brunelleschi left an indelible mark on the history of art and architecture with his extraordinary works and innovative genius.
In this post, I will tell you about Brunelleschi’s role in the evolution of the Florentine Renaissance, his rivalry with other artists of the time and the wonderful creations that made Florence “the cradle of the Renaissance.” A journey to discover a visionary artist who changed the face of architecture forever.
