Bramante
Donato di Angelo di Pascuccio known as Bramante (1444, Assembles Asdrualdo - 1514, Rome) is a Italian Architecte of the Renaissance born close to Urbin in Italy.
Biography
He works initially as painter, also influenced by Melozzo de Forlì. Its first orders as an architect go back to 1479, then with the service of Ludovic Sforza, with Milan, where he frequently works with Léonard de Vinci. It leaves to Rome in 1500 and reveals there its design of the traditional style with the Tempietto de San Pietro in Montorio (1502-1510). This building proposes a synthesis between Antique art and art of the Rebirth: heightening of 3 steps, composed of a circular central room, surrounded by a peristyle made up of surmounted Tuscan columns of a plank.
Its most famous work is without any doubt the Basilique Saint-Pierre (started in 1506) with Rome, carried out on the request of the Pope Jules II. It traces the plan of it, throws of them the bases (1513) and raises it until the Entablement, but it does not have time to complete it. The building, after its death, continued and is improved by Michel-Angel.
Among his other achievements, one can note S. Maria presso S. Satiro (1482 - 1486), the cloister of S. Ambrogio with Milan (1497 - 1498), the apostolic Palais of the Vatican (for which Maître Claude carries out the stained glasses) or the Palais Caprini (1501 - 1502).
Bramante was the Master and the guard of Raphaël.
