Brunelleschi Masterpiece

Brunelleschi is a risk - taker person. He takes risk when he is building his artwork, like the Cathedral dome. For years people were trying to find the solution for the dome of the Cathedral. It first started when different architect, including Brunelleschi, tried to stand an egg that wouldn't move. They tried fail to success until Brunelleschi did the most incredible thing that no one could have thought (back in the Renaissance). By make a den at the bottom of the egg, which support the egg to stand still. This has surprise the people and gave him the job of finishing the dome of the Cathedral. People were surprise because the dome is not support with anything except for the design of the dome. The dome's design is very risk - taking because Brunelleschi had to make sure that the dome wouldn't fall inwards. Brunelleschi had to build the dome in a special in order to avoid the dome falling inward.
