ART
Art was a known point in Renaissance history. Many artists bloomed during this
time, ones we still know today. Vincenzo Foppa was a painter for the dukes in
Milan, and was considered that he had the most influence of the Lombards until Da
Vinci came. Foppa was known for his skill in foreshortening and perspective.
Foreshortening is distorting a picture to make it look 3-D, and perspective is similar
to that but in “special relationships”. As other Renaissance painter did, he painted
frescoes, and one of his most acclaimed pieces was the Martyrdom of St. Sebastian
that is now currently in the Milan gallery called the Brera Gallery. He also did other
works, including the Crucifixion and Madonna and Child with an Angel

ARCHITECTURE
Architecture was highly regarded during the Renaissance, and still vastly examined today. There were many notable architects in different cities, and Milan held a man that was sometimes
known as the “Greatest architect of the High Renaissance”. Bramante, which was a pseudonym for the real Donato di Angelo di Pascuccio, worked as both a painter and an architect. He had
done small works of buildings and frescos, but had been credited for acquainting the Early Renaissance to architecture in the city of Milan. He had built some churches, which were contrasting
to the Gothic style. Some of his known buildings were the Saint Maria, Saint Satiro, Saint Maria, and Saint Ambrogio. But his most famous work was the remaking of St. Peters Basilica. He
had been picked out of other ideas, including Raphael and Michelangelo, giving promise to his skill. This work had a significant influence on smaller churches. But he had died before this work
had been completed, and others had taken over the project, though his design of the east wing was kept. His renowned work in Milan was the St. Maria presso St. Satiro. It was not originally
built by him, but was renovated in his works. It could be considered that it was “perfected” by his ideas. He created a relief behind the altar with arches and columns in the background.
Bramante created a legacy for future architecture in Milan, leaving behind buildings that would be famous today.

MODERN PLACE
 The renaissance, though it is a time that has long since come to pass still affects us with the
legacies that have hung on long after the time period ended. One of these legacies has influenced
the museo del Novecento, which is a museum that was first completed in 1956, after the war
ended (the war caused delays in the building because there were bombings and such). It has been
restored presently and was inaugurated on December 6th, 2010. This building follows Bramante’s
legacy of changing gothic architecture back to the classical architecture. This helped in the
rebirth of the classical era in the renaissance. This building is not built upon the gothic
perspective of high and light. This piece uses the Classical era’s arches. The reason why the word
renaissance means rebirth is because it brought back the classical culture. This modern building
in Milan depicts the arches of this era, showing Bramante’s legacy of bringing back the classical
architecture. Even now we see the effects of the renaissances in our architecture.
