Brunelleschi's Virtuosity

I believe most prompted Brunelleschi to succeed in the construction of his masterpiece is virtuosity. Using creative leadership, Brunelleschi showed many of the famous architectures and the magistrate his designs of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. He was able to accomplish by his technical skill, fluency and Creativity. Also, he found a way to not let the rain water leak from the roof. Besides that, he discovered a skill that doesn’t allow the dome to fall in the inside of the dome. In order to construct the dome, he was able to think something no one else had ever done before, and to redefine architecture and engineering of Roman Empire. He was also gifted with special knowledge of or interest in art and architecture. The actions and decisions of people effect change greatly, take a look at Brunelleschi’s dome. If money had not been provide to Brunelleschi, the dome will never be standing. Also, Florence will not be same as today. “In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the experts mind there are few.” Suzuki Shunryu.
