Renaissance in Florence

The website about renaissance in Florence. In the fifteen century and the city had a population of 60,000 and was a self-governed. The Renaissance is first occur in there, and there's many churches, public buildings, and houses. The concept of dome first emerged on tops the Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral of Florence. Many Florentine buildings outwardly exemplify Renassiance style. Like the church of Santa Croce.

This photo's cathedral is Santa church in Florence. I choose it because it's a dome. This may the first churches has this style, and it is so incredible. The church is huge, and the dome was new designed in that century. It can let 30000 people in.

A famous painter lived in Florence, he is Giotto di Bondone. One of his painting is "Kiss of Judas", it's his important painting. I choose it because the emotion in Judas, his face has feeling inside. Not just lines, and their face and other soldier's face has difference. Jesus seems calm, and the soldier seems angry. Also, the other story like a man cuts ear, the color is bright these are all Giotto's style.
