Renaissance architecture architectural style

Renaissance architecture is the European architecture of the period between the early 14th and early 16th centuries in different regions, demonstrating a conscious revival and development of certain elements of ancient Greek and Roman thought and material culture. Stylistically, Renaissance architecture followed Gothic architecture and was succeeded by Baroque architecture. Developed first in Florence, with Filippo Brunelleschi as one of its innovators, the Renaissance style quickly spread to other Italian cities. The style was carried to France, Germany, England, Russia and other parts of Europe at different dates and with varying degrees of impact.

History

The palace was built in 1468 and was given by Borso d’Este to the Florentine exile, Diotisalvi Neroni. A second floor was added in the next century. The palace returned to the property of the Este, via Gurone d’Este, who commissioned the central courtyard from Girolamo da Carpi in 1535. In 1572, it was connected through the gardens with the Palazzina Marfisa d'Este and also with the Palazzo Schifanoia. In 1643 the palaces became property of the Count Bonacossi who refurbished the palace with late Baroque touches. [1]

Palazzo Schifanoia palace of the dEste and museum in Ferrara

Palazzo Schifanoia is a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna (Italy) built for the Este family. The name "Schifanoia" is thought to originate from "schivar la noia" meaning literally to "escape from boredom" which describes accurately the original intention of the palazzo and the other villas in close proximity where the Este court relaxed. The highlights of its decorations are the allegorical frescoes with details in tempera by or after Francesco del Cossa and Cosmè Tura, executed ca 1469–70, a unique survival of their time.

The palace now houses the art and photography library of the museum. The Museo Riminaldi displays a collection of sculptures, tapestries, and mosaics from the 17th and 18th-century, mostly derived from the collections of cardinal Gian Maria Riminaldi (1718-1789). [2] [3]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
