Renaissance

Read more
The architecture of the Renaissance developed in the 15th and 16th centuries from Italy and spread from there in different forms throughout Europe. At the center of the phenomenon was the return to the harmony of antiquity as a contrast to the Gothic style, which was perceived as modern. In order to better classify the expressions and multifaceted variants, the period is divided into Early Renaissance (15th century), High Renaissance (up to about 1535) and Late Renaissance (from about 1535) including Mannerism.
