	== Masaccio ==		== [https://www.theartstory.org/artist/masaccio/ Masaccio] ==
	Born in 1401, died in 1428. Perhaps one of the most influential artists of the Renaissance. Historians claim that he, along with Donatello and Brunelleschi, inspired the style of art that typifies art of the period. In his 27 years on the planet, he developed a style that used perspective in a way that created an illusion of three-dimensions--a significant change from the flat style of painting that typified medieval art. His most famous work can be found in the Brancacci Chapel in Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. One interesting fact about the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden is that three centuries after the fresco was painted, Cosimo III de' Medici, in line with contemporary ideas of decorum, ordered that fig leaves be added to conceal the genitals of the figures. These were eventually removed in the 1980s when the painting was fully restored and cleaned. Shown below are both versions.		Born in 1401, died in 1428.

	== Ghiberti ==		== [https://www.theartstory.org/artist/ghiberti-lorenzo/ Ghiberti] ==
	Born in 1378, died 1455. Exceptional bronze sculpture, most famous for being selected to do the doors to the baptistry of the doors of the Duomo in Florence, being chosen over such artists as Brunelleschi and Donatello. Some art historians define the entries submitted in this contest as the beginning point of Renaissance art. Ghiberti spent 21 years doing the north doors. The year after he completed those doors, he was commissioned to do the east doors. He spent the next 28 years producing the brass panels depicting the Old Testament that complete those doors which Michelangelo described as the "gates of Paradise." He also sculpted St. Matthew and St. John the Baptist out of bronze for the Orsanmichele in Florence.		Born in 1378, died 1455.

	== Brunelleschi ==		== [https://www.theartstory.org/artist/brunelleschi-filippo/ Brunelleschi] ==
	Born in 1377, died in 1446. Architect in Florence that made the cupola (dome) of the Florence cathedral. The Duomo of Florence has become the symbol of Florence, is its tallest building and is a symbol of the wealth and civic pride of the affluent families of the city during the Renaissance. The church, on which construction began in 1299, is crowned by the massive dome designed by Brunelleschi almost two centuries later. This building did not have a roof for 175 years because it posed a major architectural challenge with the large area the dome had to span. You can climb 463 steps up the dome and view the city below. In 1418, the Opera del Duomo announced a public competition to design and build the dome. Several leading architects participated, but the main contenders were Filippo Brunelleschi and Lorenzo Ghiberti. Brunelleschi's design was innovative and groundbreaking. He proposed a self-supporting, double-shell dome, avoiding the need for external buttressing or scaffolding. He also invented innovative construction machinery and techniques to manage the materials and labor. Ghiberti, a renowned artist known for his Baptistery doors, initially won a previous competition for the bronze doors of the Baptistery. Despite Brunelleschi winning the dome competition, Ghiberti was appointed as his co-superintendent. Brunelleschi's dome was completed in 1436, becoming a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and engineering. It remains the largest brick dome in the world and a symbol of Florence. Beyond his abilities as an architect, Brunelleschi was recognized for using geometric principles in creating perspective and influencing both Masaccio and Donatello to follow that style.
