Detailed explanation-1: -The bronze remains his most famous work, and was made for a secular context, commissioned by the Medici family.
Detailed explanation-2: -But perhaps their most enduring legacy-for which the world owes them a debt of gratitude-is their patronage of the arts. Artists such as Brunelleschi, Donatello, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, and Michelangelo all thrived under Medici patronage.
Detailed explanation-3: -When Brunelleschi returned to Florence, a new prize was on offer, the magnificent Cathedral desperately needed a dome. Whilst no one had ever made a self-supporting dome before, Brunelleschi was confident that he could solve the problem.
Detailed explanation-4: -He later worked for a short time in the studio of his mentor, Lorenzo Ghiberti. In 1402 Ghiberti won a competition to design the North Baptistery gates, beating other notable artists Brunelleschi and Jacopo della Quercia (Donatello was too young to participate).
