The Romans allegedly invented the arch, and its circular form: the dome.
Three key factors that determine art styles are cultural context, historical influences, and individual artist expression. Cultural context shapes art through traditions, beliefs, and social norms prevalent in a society. Historical influences, such as movements, events, and advancements in technology, also play a critical role in evolving artistic techniques and themes. Lastly, individual artist expression reflects personal experiences, emotions, and unique perspectives, contributing to the diversity of styles within the art world.
The dome of Florence was huge, that technology had been lost after the collapse of the Roman empire. Brunelleschi literally had to make it up as he went along. A lot of the Renaissance art, especially in Italy, was about rediscovering the Roman techniques. For example, the Renaissance was the first time in hundreds of years that anyone could build an equestrian statue.
It took 16 years to build the Brunelleschi Dome in Florence. He had two domes built, one inside the other to accomplish this feat.
From the 13th to the 17th century, architecture evolved significantly due to shifts in cultural, religious, and technological factors. The transition from Gothic to Renaissance styles marked a move towards symmetry, proportion, and classical influences, reflecting a renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman ideals. Additionally, advancements in engineering and materials allowed for larger and more intricate structures, as seen in the development of domes and expansive public buildings. This architectural evolution was driven by changing societal values, including humanism during the Renaissance, which emphasized individual experience and the importance of civic life.
Just as the Romans were often known as Greek imitators, the artists of the Renaissance took a big interest in ancient Greek and Roman art. Therefore, the Renaissance came to be known as an era of revival, one in which the influence of Greek and Roman art was seen in both art and architecture. Pieces such as the Palazzo Rucellai, David, and Birth of Venus are all noted for being composed of both Greek and Roman elements and styles. The Renaissance is known as the “rebirth” or “revival” of Greek and Roman styles and conventions. Such Greek and Roman influences are well noted in the Italian-made pieces such as The Palazzo Rucellai, which can be compared to the Colosseum, David, which can be compared to the Kritios Boy, and The Birth of Venus, which can be compared to the Aphrodite of Menophantos. It is this revival that is credited with helping European artists and architects depart from Gothic styles, among others, while bringing back notorious Greek and Roman ones.
