The influence of the Renaissance in the northern European "low" countries of today's Netherlands and Belgium was revealed most in the decorative gables of townhouses. As a reaction to Catholicism, this Protestant region favored stark simplicity, and the merchant townhouse became the primary outlet for decorative Renaissance architecture, often in the form of stepped or "neck" gables like these. https://architecturestyles.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/copy-of-img_9540.jpgCopy of IMG_9540https://architecturestyles.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/copy-2-of-img_9921.jpgCopy (2) of IMG_9921Florence, Italy. Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiori (St. Mary of the Flower), completed 1436 as a Gothic-style cathedral, desgined by Arnolfo di Cambio in the late 1200s. The Renaissance story here involves the largest brick dome in the world, added later by Filippo Brunelleschi and inspired direclty by the Pantheon in Rome. Brunelleschi's dome is the prototype for countless other Renaissance domes and later versions constructed in North America (e.g. The Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.). https://architecturestyles.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/copy-of-img_1400.jpgCopy of IMG_1400Vatican City (Rome), Italy.
