Comments

Me: Thank you so much Lorenzo for the proposed job as being your assistant, but I think I shall withdraw.

Lorenzo: Well it has been nice working and competing with you I really do wish that you would change your mind. But, as I know you probably wont so I hope to be working with you again.

Me: Sure in the near future I believe that we can in fact manage to work together again.

Donatello: Your setback as a goldsmith can only provide a decadent review of incoming interest throughout your life.

Me: Thank you Donatello... your art truly has made and impact in my life I truly do believe that one day I can become as great an artist as you.

Messaging

Me: See ya then!!

Lorenzo Ghiberti: Okay then see ya Friday noonish!!

Me: Its settled.

Lorenzo Ghiberti: Sounds like a plan. Oh! say noonish on Friday??

Me: Well if you say so, I think we could discuss it over tea and pastries. Does that agree with you?

Lorenzo Ghiberti: Well yes, we will be discussing both your opinion and my master piece and what needs your spin on it.

Me: What exactly is it that we would be discussing? Your next master piece or my opinion on what it really looks like??

Lorenzo Ghiberti: Would you mind coming over and discussing with these new blue prints with me??

Education

Growing up my father taught me how to read and write. Then whence I got older practiced as a Goldsmith for awhile before going into architecture.

A little more about me...

Filippo Brunelleschi is my name. I was born to Brunellesco Di Lippo a man who worked as a lawyer and a notary and my mother Giulianna Spini. Of coarse by being the son of a well knowledge man I got to learn about the principals of letters and the abacus and writing. As a boy with a mind of my own which indeed focused on art, I went into the profession of goldsmithing and made a life out of doing art.

At the age of 24yrs old in 1401, I entered into a contest which unfortunently I did not win... for I was up against the great Lorenzo Ghiberti.

Well as for my architecture the best well known piece would be my biggest piece... for its the Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore.

I lived in Florence from the time I was born till the day I died. Even though well producing more and more art I lived in Rome, but Florence would always be my home. I lived in Rome till 1417 just doing architecture jobs which made me famous to a tee. My father raised me with reading and writing for he was a lawyer and practised with such aspects everyday. By the time I got to be an adult, I mastered as a goldsmith, which in turn I entered into a contest that I did lose. It was the great Lorenzo Ghiberti that I lost too. From that day on my education went into architecture that did make many fortunes for myself. My master piece the Duomo, is maybe one of my best well known pieces of art. I did happen to marry someone, but we never did have children. After finishing my work in Rome I returned to Florence in which I stayed with much work to do for more work needed to be produce and I did what best work that I indeed could handle.

My Favorite Quotes

This is one of my favorite quotes by Dante Algheiri.



"It were a shameful thing if one should rhyme under the semblance of metaphor or rhetorical simulitude, and afterwards, being questioned thereof, should be unable to rid his works of such semblance, unto their right understanding."





Another qoute that I believe best fits my work ethic is by me-:

"the right proportions."
