=Brunellseschi.=

Here are a few details about my life:
I am Fillipo Brunelleschi. I was born in the year  1377 and died in the year 1446. As a young boy I studied literacy and methematics hoping to follow in my farthers footsteps as a civil servant. I went to the Arte della Seta, the Silkmaders Guild which doing goldsmiths, metalworkers and bronze workers. In 1398 I became a master goldsmith. My first important commission was the Foudling Hospital which came from the same guild that I came from. In 1401 I entered a competion to design a new set of bronze doors for the baptisery of Florence. Working with Lorenzo Ghiberti we produced a gilded bronze panel representing the Sacrafice of Issac. During my life I changed from being a goldsmith to a builder. In my life I built Church of San Spirito,Ospedale Degli Innocenti, Pazzi Chapel and the San Lorenzo, Florence.

I contributed to the Renaissance in the following ways:
My sculptures were use as models for many of the following buildings that were built. If I didn't build the buildings before the Rennanaissance then the rich people wouldn't have spend a lot of money on them. He inspired other builders such as Michelangelo and Danato Bramante

I think these contributions were particularly important because:
After the Rennaissance happened lots of people would have built buildings and if they got ideas from a great architect like me If there were no buildings for rich people to buy then the Rennaissance would never have happened. With more people building buildings there is more money to spend that would go towards the Rennaissance to help it happen quicker.

The picture included on this page helps to show that:
That Brunelleschi must have a great person because he has been made into a statue in Florence.
