Document Summary

Public spaces and private palaces of the renaissance: the renaissance (fourteenth-fifteenth century) was the movement to revive ancient greco-roman culture. It began with the italian merchant leaders who educated their young as humanists, teaching them ancient greek and latin history, science, philosophy, art, and poetry. Architects attempted to create a correspondence through all"antica (italian renaissance expression signifying in the style of the ancient greeks and romans ) details from greco-roman culture. The rebirth of ancient art carried an aesthetic agenda and implied the restoration of a lost ideal of social and political order. The dome of florence and its architect, filippo brunelleschi: the florentine commune stabilized by 1300, having subdued the quarrelsome feudal nobility which had built 100+ towers. The wealthiest merchant families dominated the city"s artistic output. At first, republicanism discouraged them from demonstrating their wealth for fear of attracting envy or heavier taxes, so they built great civic projects instead.
