Document Summary
High renaissance and mannerism: from bramante to michelangelo. Close associate of da vinci and influenced his work. Added centralized crossing, capped by a 65 foot dome and competed on either side by transept apses. Design is behind the times with highly decorative exterior. S. maria presso s. satiro, milan (1482-92) Barrel-vaulted nave and transpets that intersect at a central crossing with a coffered dome and an oculus. Street restricted east side and prevented the addition of a choir. Low relief on wall behind altar gives the illusion of a barrel vaulted choir. Commission by ferdinand and isabella of spain for a monument at the spot where st. peter was said to have been martyred. Circular cloister and its intersection with a circular temple. Building designed to reference the platonic preference for ideal form and the. Christian reverence for the circular martyria of the early church. Has extreme command of form and detail.
