Rebirth: The Great Designer

Su, have you heard the story of the three major Renaissance buildings in Florence? Jenny suddenly asked after walking past the Town Hall Square.

Jenny's question made Su Leqing laugh dumbly: I don't even know what the three major buildings in Florence are, let alone their stories!

What? Could it be that the place we are going to go to next is one of these three buildings? Su Leqing came back to her senses and said, obviously Jenny would not be aimless, since she asked this question, it must be to lead to the second place they need to visit. attractions.

Jenny nodded and said enthusiastically: The most famous of the three buildings is the Florence Cathedral. This magnificent church is also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

After finishing speaking, Jenny pointed to the distance: Su, have you seen it? It is the church with the highest dome, that is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore!

Following the direction of Jenny's finger, Su Leqing saw the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers.

Although at night, the sight cannot be seen too far, but the light on the dome of the church can still let Su Leqing see the outline of the dome of the whole church, and the whole church looks extraordinary.

Perhaps, it is not difficult to build such a church now, but everything must be based on the environment and background at that time. You must know that this church was built during the Renaissance, and it has After many years, the church is still in use, and you can see the extraordinaryness of this building.

It's really good! Su Leqing exclaimed.

Then today, I'm going to tell a story about the Cathedral of Notre Dame des Fiores! Jenny blinked.

The dome of this cathedral was the ambitious Florentines at that time in order to show their status, and they wanted to build the dome of the cathedral as the largest dome in the world at that time, and the designer responsible for this project was Brunelleschi , He can be said to be a legendary figure. He is highly skilled and bold. He didn't make any calculation drafts or drawings. He started to build this big dome completely based on mental calculation and mental space imagination. Together with the lighting pavilion, such a dome The total height is 100 meters, and Brunelleschi is not only an architectural genius, but also a strategist. When he was building the Great Dome, he knew that someone would covet and steal his design drawings at any time, so no one was left behind. Drawings, because the entire architectural structure of this cathedral is still a mystery, and only I know all kinds of mysteries. When the project is halfway through, someone wants to replace it, but because there are no drawings, I don’t know how to build it, so I still have to invite him out of the mountain.

When the church was completed, even the pope was amazed by this mythical vault, Jenny said.

After listening to this story, Su Leqing nodded and praised: This is indeed a story of praising heroes.

The protagonist of the story is smart and witty, was envied by others, was framed by others, and finally survived successfully! The perfect male protagonist! Su Leqing summarized the theme of the story told by Winnie.

However... In fact, there is another possibility for this story...

Su Leqing narrated with a slightly slanted corner of his mouth: That is, there was an amateur designer who participated in the design bidding of the whole design, and then he was asked to draw drawings, but he couldn't draw because he couldn't draw, and was sent to prison. But since construction was already halfway through, it was finally up to him to keep building.”

Having said this,

Su Leqing hurriedly continued: Of course, this is a joke!

But this Brunelleschi is indeed an architectural genius, and he actually made up the blueprints, Su Leqing added.

What you said is not impossible! But Brunelleschi's talent is unparalleled. In addition to the Santa Maria del Fiore Hotel, he also designed a Holy Cross Church. Jenny said.

While telling the story, the two came to the front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence, Italy. It is one of the five cathedrals in the world and the fourth cathedral in the world. This is a Gothic building with a height of 106 meters. Its exterior is decorated with green, white and red marble. It is designed and built using the principles of architecture and geometry. On the same large square as the Duomo Cathedral, the Giotto Bell Tower and the octagonal San Giovanni Baptistery, the three large buildings form a whole, which is particularly majestic.

When walking into the majestic church, Su Leqing was immediately shocked and attracted by the majestic architectural style inside.

Can you imagine a 106-meter-high building with only one floor?

Can you imagine the feeling that the murals painted on the dome of the church are so clear under the light that they are reflected in your eyes just looking up?

There are towering pillars inside the church, and various paintings are drawn on the pillars.

What shocked Su Leqing the most was the dome on the baptistery. This dome was once called the mythical dome by the church. The beautiful dome was completed in 1463. It did not use scaffolding, and the technique was imitated from that of the Pantheon in Rome. Domed, magical are the best adjectives.

In addition, the fresco Last Judgment painted by art historian and painter Vasari inside the dome is also a masterpiece worthy of appreciation. However, this mural was later completed by another painter, Zhu Kali.

The 91-meter-high dome has a total of 463 steps inside, and you can climb up the dome to enjoy the panoramic view of Florence.

In addition to the dome, the important buildings of the main church include the bell tower (Campanile de ) and the baptistery (Bittistero di San ). The dome of the church was a relatively late completion.

The small square facing the main church is Piazza di San (Piazza di San). San Giovanni is the guardian of Florence, and it is usually a place where tourists gather.

It's really a worthwhile trip!

Looking up at the mythical dome and seeing the lifelike paintings on the dome, Su Leqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Before entering the church, he had deep doubts about whether this church could be called one of the five cathedrals in the world. After all, from the outside, this building was not very eye-catching.

But after actually entering this church, Su Leqing knew why this church was even called the world's top five cathedrals.

Looking at the church from the outside and seeing the church from the inside are really two worlds.

Looking at the church from the inside, you can truly feel the grandeur, majesty, and ingenuity of the entire church, as well as the murals on the dome and stone pillars of the church, which are of great artistic value.
