His original and daring ideas in architecture, engineering and linear perspective made him the most well-known and respected architect of his time, and the most inventive and gifted artist of all time. His most famous work, the designing and building of the dome for the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence, Italy, revolutionized engineering and construction, and was the largest dome in the world for almost five-hundred years.
Designing and building the dome, lantern, and exedra for the cathedral, occupied the majority of his artistic life.
