Renaissance Architecture emerged in Italy during the 15th century and marked a revival of classical styles from ancient Greece and Rome. Characterized by symmetry, proportion, and geometry, this architectural style emphasized harmony and balance. Key features include columns, domes, and arches, often adorned with decorative elements like pilasters and friezes. Prominent architects such as Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti played crucial roles in developing this style. Notable examples include the Florence Cathedral and the Palazzo Rucellai. The movement spread across Europe, influencing various structures, including churches, palaces, and public buildings, leading to a lasting impact on Western architecture.
