Brunelleschi was a skilled clock-maker, inventing a type of alarm clock and supplying the clock installed on this tower. His knowledge of gears contributed to his engineering success and enabled him to orchestrate the construction of the Dome. He also helped design special fly systems for the Theater.

These "Madonna with Child" pieces are nearly exact, but it's important to notice that they are not ethereal or angelic. They, like his other religious pieces (Crucifixion and Saint Peter), are simple and realistic. Brunelleschi’s modesty, restraint on nudity and gaudiness, show respect for classic religious orthodox.

Brunelleschi is credited for inventing/ reinventing linear perspective which accurately portrays depth and proportion. This is exceptionally useful in  sketching designs for new buildings. These perspective techniques have helped artists achieve realism in their work.

(From the Baptistery Competition) Brunelleschi's skill is evident even if the panel is a bit crowded. He would later refine his depth in composition through Linear Perspective. This work shows an appreciation for detail, and its 3-dimensional quality became extremely popular during the Renaissance.

Brunelleschi was born and raised in Florence, the middle child and son of a notary. He joined "The silk merchants" guild and began training as a goldsmith and sculptor joining. After losing the Baptistery Competition to Lorenzo Ghibert, he traveled to Rome with Donatello. There he spent a decade studying the architecture of the ancients.
His architectural designs were a combination of Roman antiquity and medieval Gothic decadence. He produced his own signature style that boasted Roman strength and modern beauty.
