Today
in class we talked about the Italian Art. I must say that a lot of times
there are so many things in history but without being in the place they
occurred we don't have a clear understanding of what might of happen at certain
time. Back in the United States we hear the name of the Ninja Turtles and right
away we think of the great artist of the Italian Art who may of painted or
created some wonderful statues. The Duomo located in Florence was a piece of
work that was completed Brunelleschi that at the time was hired by the Medici
family to complete the Dome. Brunelleschi was a very skilled architect and
engineering took the role of getting things done at the time. A lot of the
history is left unheard until you come to the place it happen that you start
hearing about it. Also we discussed how
during 15th century after the death of Giovanni Cossa his son Cosimo
came in charge and then the Albizzi were waiting for him at the palace and
which them took him to a cell named the barberia. Walking around Florence and
seeing this monuments after studying about its history makes it more meaningful
because you actually have more of a background of what occurred at the time.
