EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aerial view captures the magnificent Rotunda of Santa Maria degli Angeli, a masterpiece by Filippo Brunelleschi. The print showcases the grandeur and beauty of this architectural marvel, which was begun in 1434. Located in Florence, Tuscany, Italy, this rotunda holds great historical significance as it serves as a memorial to the soldier Filippo degli Scolari who passed away in 1424. Inspired by the Temple of Minerva Medica in Rome, Brunelleschi's design exhibits classic Italian Renaissance architecture at its finest. The centralised plan and unfinished oculi add an intriguing element to the composition. The oculus on top allows natural light to flood into the space below, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow within. This unique feature adds depth and dimension to the overall structure. Although construction was completed much later in 1959, today it stands proudly as a lecture hall. Its exterior remains true to its original form with intricate details that showcase Italian craftsmanship at its best. Captured by photographer Nicolo Orsi Battaglini, this print perfectly encapsulates the essence of Italian art and culture. It is a testament to Brunelleschi's genius and his contribution to architectural history.
