Basilica di San Lorenzo_0539 . . . . . . press L key

            The Basilica San Lorenzo in Florence was the official parish church of the Medici family. In 1421, Cosimo de Medici the Elder commissioned Filippo Brunelleschi to create a design for the Basilica. But 20 years of political strife and financial difficulties followed and the actual construction did not begin until 1442.

Brunelleschi’s design was groundbreaking and helped usher in the early Renaissance. In contrast to the Gothic architectural style that preceded it, the overall effect is more minimalist and modern with an open, airy feel. And with a few notable exceptions the church has relatively little in the way of artistic embellishment. Brunelleschi believed the architecture itself should be the artistic focus.
