1. Donato Bramante ITALIAN ARCHITECT

2. Donato Bhramante Donato Bramante, also known as Bramante Lazzari, was an Italian architect and painter. He introduced Renaissance architecture to Milan and the High Renaissance style to Rome, where his plan for St. Peter’s Basilica formed the basis of design executed by Michelangelo.

4. While Donato Bramante had a minor architectural role in the design of this church in Milan, he created one of the most remarkable features of Renaissance architecture at the Santa Maria Presso San Satiro.
The main problem with the design of this church was that there was only about 90 centimeters (3 feet) space to integrate the choir at the back of it due to a road and other buildings in the area. Bramante resolved this by creating a “tromp l’oeil,” an image that creates an optical illusion of space. Santa Maria Presso San Satiro – Milan

6. Bramante’s tromp l’oeil, which he created between 1482 and 1486, is widely considered to be the first in architectural history.

7. Palazzo della Cancelleria – Rome The Palazzo della Cancelleria is a Renaissance palace in Rome and the former Apostolic Chancery of the Pope. It was constructed between 1489 and 1513 and is considered to be the earliest Renaissance palace in Rome. One of its most fascinating features was designed by Bramante, namely the beautiful courtyard. The travertine of the palace of the ancient ruins of the Theater of Pompey, as well as the Egyptian columns of the inner courtyard.

8. The inner courtyard designed by Bramante was inspired by the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino, which was his hometown.

9. Tempietto at San Pietro in Montorio – Rome One of Bramante’s most famous works was built in the early 16 th century, probably around 1502, and is referred to as the “Tempietto.” This commemorative tomb in the form of a small temple is located in the courtyard of the San Pietro in Montorio church in Rome.
The church, as well as the Tempietto, were commissioned by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain and even though the temple in the courtyard is relatively small, it’s considered to be one of the ultimate masterpieces of Renaissance architecture.

10. It’s considered an extension and perfection of the work of the founding father of Renaissance architecture, Filippo Brunelleschi.

11. Bramante Staircase One of the most iconic Donato Bramante works is definitely the so-called “Bramante Staircase.” It’s located in a square tower of the Belvedere Palace of Pope Innocent VIII and is now part of the Vatican Museum.
The staircase was designed with a double helix which allowed the pope to simply remain in his carriage while traveling up the stairs to his private residence.

12. It’s one of the most iconic monuments and the final part of the Vatican Museum tour.

13. St. Peter’s Basilica – Rome This has been described as “the greatest of all churches of Christendom,” St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City in Rome. His design of the fabulous dome, which is the most prominent feature of the building, moved away from the design of that of the Pantheon in Rome and was more inspired by Brunelleschi’s dome of the Florence Cathedral.
Bramante envisioned that the main dome should be surrounded by 4 smaller domes and on each corner, there was to be a tower so the overall plan looked square.

14. Michelangelo has been credited with the ultimate design, together with a large number of supporting architects who all made small changes to the original design by Donato Bramante.
