Michelangelo and St. Peters....



Michelangelo Buonaroltti was born in 1475 and died in 1584. What is great about his architectures are that he was the founder of High Renaissance and inject the force and power of his paintings and sculpture into architecture designs. St. Peters is his masterpiece of his early years.  

Michelangelo work is very strong in term of shadows and it contains similar force. In the plan of St. Peters shows the rotation of 45degree square on top of the square. The front of the design is not relevant it sizes and breaks the symmetry in a lot of ways. He tends to break out renaissance where other architects tend to maintain proportion. Michelangelo is very expressive whether in sculpture, painting, or architecture. He restricts himself to the nude in painting to express the ideal human form, which has a great impact on the future generations. The scale of St. Peter is almost the same as the Bramante’s Pantheon. but he made a lot more round. In his design, sacred cut, which is a circle create by two square placing on top of each other.

The design of St. Peter has major influenced on church architecture in Western Christendom.
