Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) was an Italian architect, designer, and sculptor who played a crucial role in the development of Renaissance architecture. Born in Florence, Brunelleschi is best known for his innovative engineering and design of the dome of the Florence Cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore, which remains the largest masonry dome in the world. In addition to his architectural works, Brunelleschi was a pioneer in linear perspective, a technique that revolutionized painting and allowed artists to create more accurate and realistic representations of space. His groundbreaking ideas and designs had a profound impact on architecture and art during the Italian Renaissance and continue to be influential today.
