segunda parte: la invencion de lo clasico
donato bramante, 1444 – 1514
Piero della Francesca was trained in mathematics, stopped painting ca 1478 to devote himself entirely to theory and wrote important books on art theory, dealing primarily with perspective, geometry and trigonometry: De prospectiva pingendi and Libellus de quinque corporibus regularibus. Piero della Francesca was the first painter to attempt to solve perspective problems with the help of mathematics or to perfect the use of perspective with geometric and mathematical aids.
Santa Maria presso San Satiro, 1476–1482
….Santa Maria della Consolazione, Todi, 1508–1524…..has been attributed to Bramante, but there are no documents that can prove this attribution, the works were directed by Cola da Caprarola, subsequently Peruzzi took over (until 1518), Vignola (until 1565) and others, construction of the drum began in 1586…….
……………..The Tempietto 's fame is due to the fact that its external shape appears to be made from a single piece, which is why its contemporaries considered it an example of the perfect approximation of antiquity. This harmony is not achieved, however, by imitating a particular building type, but through the coherent reorganization of ancient architectural elements and proportions. Although the Tempietto does not deny its origins in the Roman round temple (tholos), it is a structure sui generis…………
Villa Adriana, 117-138 AD, rediscovered in 1461
……………..basilica de san pedro, ca 318-358………….construction began by orders of the Roman Emperor Constantine I after his conversion to Christianity…….the design was a typical basilica form with the plan and elevation resembling those of Roman basilicas and audience halls, such as the Basilica Ulpia in Trajan's Forum and Constantine's own Aula Palatina at Trier, rather than the design of any Greco-Roman temple………
