Everything about Antonio Da Sangallo The Elder totally explained
Antonio da Sangallo the Elder (c.
1453 –
December 27 1534), was a
Florentine architect active during the Italian Renaissance. His father
Francesco Giamberti was a woodworker, and his brother
Giuliano da Sangallo and nephew
Antonio da Sangallo the Younger were architects. To a great extent he worked in partnership with his brother, but he also executed a number of independent works. As a military engineer he was as skilful as Giuliano, and carried out important works of walling and building fortresses at
Arezzo,
Montefiascone, Florence and
Rome. His finest existing work as an architect is the church of San Biagio at
Montepulciano, in plan a
Greek cross with central dome and two towers, much resembling, on a small scale,
Bramante's design for
St. Peter's Basilica. He also built a palace in the same city, various churches and palaces at
Monte San Savino, and at Florence a range of monastic buildings for the Servite monks. Antonio retired early from the practice of his profession, and spent his latter years in farming.
His work includes:
- The church of San Biagio at Montepulciano.
