I was interested in the life of Brunelleschi, who engineered and built the Dome on the DUOMO in Florence, the largest dome of its kind in the world today. I have climbed inside this structure. The book is a fascinating recounting of his life, including his many trials and tribulations surrounding his brilliant design of the duomo. His lifetime competition with Ghilberti is chronicled in the book and gives us a peek into the lives of these Renaissance geniuses. I wish a great film director would turn this book into a film---it is that captivating. Since I finished reading the book, I have ordered two more copies to give away as gifts to friends I thought would enjoy this brilliant read. Thank you, Ross King, for this masterpiece!
Amazing thinker. Great historical account. Worth reading.
