Britannica:"It was Brunelleschi's work on the cathedral of Florence that made him famous."
This means that even though Brunelleschi did really good work the cathedral of Florence was what made him the most well-known.
This means that even though Brunelleschi did a good thing; the cathedral of Florence was what brought about his fame. The cathedral of Florence was special because it was a huge dome. Some architects said that it was impossible to build and could never be done; the dome was done in 1436 and it inspired Michelangelo’s dome. It was a great architectural feat because it showed that there were no limitations to what they could and could not build. It was built and reinforced numerous times and many things so that the dome could keep its circular form. Brunelleschi was considered a very great architect because he made such a huge move for architects; he showed his power and the fact that anything is possible. He showed people that they should not worry about limitations, they should just express themselves. Brunelleschi passed away on April 14, 1446. Some bits of the dome were not finished while he was still living. The quote explains that this dome was what he known the most for.
