Saint Peter's Basilica: a few corrections. There is an implication that Pope Julius drew together Bramante, Michelangelo and Raphael. This didnt happen. The planning and construction took so long that one architect succeeded the other, with successive architects dying and the building being virually abandoned at a point where four enormous piers were towering into the air, and part of the ancient church was still standing. Michelangelo took over in 1547, in the reign of Pope Paul III, when the mighty Mick was in his seventies. Many architects had produced plan, including Raphael, and Sangallo, who doesn't get mentioned in this article. However it is important that I mention Sangallo HERE, because his design for the facade, with the two ornate towers is the one that is shown several times in the video. Bramante would NEVER have designed anything that messy, and neither would Michelangelo. Michelangelo looked at Bramante's plan, and every that came after. He went right back to Bramante, and the Greek Cross shape. But he simplified it, made the strong elements of both structure and design stronger, and eliminated the weaker elements. The building was not fully complete at his death, and his pupils saw it through. Carlo Maderno is referred to here with as adding details. This is NOT the case. He made two major contributions to the building as we see it today. When it was decided that the building needed a "nave" (the elongated section where the congregation generally sit in a church) then it was Maderno who designed it to harmonise with Bramante/Michelangelo's building. He also built the facade, which was intended to have towers (the bottom parts are in place) but the ground proved too unstable. The other artists mentioned was Bernini who designed the important fittings (like the High Altar) and a huge colonnade around the square on the exterior. Hope this is useful to students of architecture.

Brunelleschi, Rafael, Michaelangelo, Bramante - those ara ALL baroque masters, not rainassance. In fact this style was created artificaly after french revolution, but it was never existed in reality.
8:04 "Dark and foreboding" is kind of a strange description of gothic architecture. The most famous gothic structures often have walls which are mostly glass, and the whole basis of the style was to keep the structural elements thin so as to allow as much window space as possible.
The Pantheon as we see it today was completed around 126 AD. Fluted columns feature in the very earliest GREEK doric architecture (and thus were not first used by the Romans).
The statements made around 3.30 are extremely misleading. There is an implication here that after the Fall of Rome, in the 5th century AD, there were no skills for building great buildings until the re-discovery of the Classical era as a source and inspiration. This was not the case. The skills for building arches, barrel vaults and domes were not lost, though the knowledge of engineering deteriorated. With the establishment of monasteries, there was an increasing need for large interior spaces within churches. These buildings initially applied the Roman skills of arcade building, and by 1100 had developed the barrel vault into the groin vault, used extensively in Italy. Domes and hemispherical domes were extensively used. Outside Italy, in France and England, a new style was developing the 1100s- Gothic, which employed ribbed vaults and pointed arches These were new technologies that led to the construction of huge and awe-inspiring buildings. Whle the buildings of Rome are gargantuan in terms of the .space spanned by the enormous arches, the towering masonry spire of Salisbury Cathedral, and the soaring light-filled interior of Amiens Cathedral are amazing works of structural engineering. HOWEVER, Gothic never really caught on in Italy. This means that while Arnolfo di Cambio's Cathedral of Florence is a huge and splendid work of the Gothic age, it is not truly Gothic in style, despite its pointed arches. The people of the Italian peninsular had never really given up on the watered-down Roman style known as Romanesque, and buildings like Florence Cathedral maintain this tradition, while giving a passing nod to the Gothic. . Brunelleschi did not choose either the egg-shaped outline or the ribbed nature of the dome. These were part of the plan, and can be seen in a fresco of the cathedral that dates from before Brunelleschi's employment. It is clear that Arnolfio planned ribbed dome with thinner infilling, like a Gothic vault. Brunelleschi's achievement to was engineer this. The pointed shape meant that the ribs were able to extend independently. The steeper the curve, the more that this was possible.
How about the Eastern Roman Empire? The Hagia Sophia etc.? You seem to know a lot about this stuff, but how can you say the engineering skills deteriorated?
@@APAL880 The DATE of Hagia Sophia is 537. The political fall of Rome did not mean that every living engineer immediate lost his skills. Brunelleschi's huge dome is 900 years later. This does not indicate any continuity between the two. There ARE some domes between them, Such as San Vitale in Ravenna....... but nothing showing the extraordinary engineering skills that enable the building of the Pantheon.
@@MandyJMaddison I wasn't suggesting there was continuity in the West. I was suggesting continuity in the East. As the East was falling, some from Constantinople came to Florence and served as catalysts for the Renaissance, no?
@@APAL880 In Philosophy yes, engineering and building skills.... probably not. We are talking about architecture specifically here, not the Renaissance in general. Italian architects had the evidence of great engineering, before their eyes. By the time Florence Cathedral was built, prior to the dome, Arnolfo's builders had already resurrected the technique of spanning a very wide space but with very simple ribbed vault rather than a groin vault, as the Roman would have done. . Florence Cathedral is a stupendous achievement, even prior to Brunelleschi. . Apart from his engineering skills, what Brunelleschi and tyhe other architects of his age did was reinvent the Classical Style, and apply it to churches and palazzi.
At time stamp 2:06 the narrator makes an appallingly inaccurate statement saying the Pantheon is a "reinforced" concrete dome when in fact it is well known to this day to be the largest "unreinforced" concrete dome ever built.
At time index 12:26 in the video, the narrator explains that St. Peter's Basilica was built where the Circus of Nero previously stood. The narrator uses an artist's illustration showing a circus with monumental buildings on the left. That illustration does not depict Nero's Circus, as might be implied. Instead, that illustration depicts the Circus Maximus adjacent to Palatine Hill (with the imperial buildings named the Domus Augustana, the Stadium, and the Domus Severiana from left to right). Nero's Circus was sited adjacent to a necropolis where St. Peter was supposed to have been buried. A suitable illustration may have included depictions of mausoleums in the necropolis next to the circus, and not the monumental buildings you see in the video.

Actually the Florence Dome is a gothic building that copies the structure of the 12/13th-century baptistery in Pisa. It's just bigger. Importantly, it was never used anywhere later, so it is difficult to talk about the beginning of a "Style"... once it was used, there was nothing after it (only St. Paul's Cathedral in London would repeat it hundreds of years later). As for the Basilica of St. Peter, it is pure baroque, and not any "renaissance". Michelangelo was a Baroque painter and sculptor. In reality, Renaissance architecture never really happened - Italians simply continued their traditions from antiquity. Throughout the Middle Ages, structures were created that were very similar to Palladio's designs. In my opinion - in architecture (because in sculpture and painting it is the opposite) we cannot talk about any unique style between Gothic and Baroque. I think the Renaissance was simply an early form of Baroque. And not something forcedly separate after french revolution.

Notes for myself(and others):
-perfect geometry of circles and squares
-domes, arches, and columns(post and lintel)
-corinthian capitals
notable people: brunelleschi, rafael, michaelangelo, bramante
humanism + classical = renaissance

Thank you for the video, I'm doing a project on Renaissance Architecture.
I was counting all the mistakes and then gave up after while.
Point out the mistakes
AMAZING! Thank you so much for this beautiful presentation!
That intro with Bach’s little prelude is awesome 👏, although perhaps a Renaissance piece would have been more fitting.
At time stamp 2:06 the narrator makes an appallingly inaccurate statement saying the Pantheon is a "reinforced" concrete dome when in fact it is well known to this day to be the largest "unreinforced" concrete dome ever built.
Thanks Mandy for filling in the details.
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

The concrete dome with the pantheon is not reinforced concrete, that is what is so amazing about it. There’s no metal in the Dome.

If facts are of little importance to you, this video gives a rough overview.
Are there any sources for this? I would love to use parts for my research project
@Travels of Munch....are you studying architecture?
@@njerikimani446 I am not, it’s for a Humanities reaserch project on Architecture tho
The sources are in the credits at the end of the video.

i´m Just here because of online school
cool video, many thanks
The Pantheon is a temple to all the Gods and it is unreinforced concrete dome
Thank you
okay but like that building kinda thicc tho🤤😩
Round and symmetrical yummy

Very useful and compact information about the landmarks of Renaissance movement. Thx for the video
Gracias..!!!¡¡

Lol, it was unreinforced concrete
I think it would help stupid to highlight on the picture what you're talking about
