The idea
The movable-type press was the era's one technological leap. Patronage turned art into political competition: a family paid, the city received, honor followed. Painters replaced Gothic flatness with linear perspective.
In practice
Brunelleschi's dome, completed in fourteen thirty-six by the cathedral's record; the anchor misprints fourteen thirteen.
Where people slip
Michelangelo's David of fifteen oh four followed Greek sculpture. Rebirth meant imitation, then invention.
