plan

 Drum to support dome
Floor plans for the new Saint Peter’s Basilica, Rome, Italy,
1506–1666. (I) Bramante’s plan, 1506–1514, shows a compact
plan of a Greek cross with arms or transepts (b) of equal length
meeting at a central altar (a) set under a dome, with each arm
ending in a semicircular apse (e) opening to a portal or
entrance (c), and including several chapels (d) for smaller
services. (II) Antonio da Sangallo’s plan, 1516–1546, imposed a
Latin cross, adding Raphael’s choir (f) to surround the altar on
three sides, closing the portals in favor of a formal entrance (c),
and forming a nave (g) from the arm proceeding from a huge
vestibule or narthex (h). (III) Michelangelo’s plan, 1547–1564,
rejected Sangallo’s design and returned to a centralized domed
Greek cross inscribed within a square but retained the
vestibule (c), now fronted by a portico with giant columns. (IV)
Carlo Maderna’s plan, 1606–1615, returned to a Latin cross with
elongated nave (g), narthex (h), portico (c), and Baroque
façade. This plan also shows Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s piazza (j)
with colonnades, 1656–1667. Maderna’s final additions,
especially the elongated nave, narthex, and large façade,
obscured Michelangelo’s original design. Artwork by Cecilia
Cunningham.

Chapter Thirteen: Discussion Questions



Compare the artistic developments that took
place in Rome and those that took place in
Venice. To what can we attribute the differences?
Explain.
To what extent did Neo-Platonism manifest itself
in the works of Michelangelo? Are there traces of
this philosophy in works of other artists discussed
in this chapter? Explain, citing specific artists and
works.
How did environmental factors and geography
contribute to Venetian art during the
Renaissance? Consider both visual and aural
arts in your discussion.
