Renaissance architecture was a development from Gothic
architecture which demonstrated the elements from ancient Greek and Roman. The
form of the structure during Renaissance period was represented by symmetrical and
geometrical form, proportion of a human scale and meanings of Christianity. One
of the demonstrations is the Basilica Santa Maria Novella, Venice, Italy which
was influenced by Renaissance architecture.
The exterior form of Santa Maria is symmetry on the plan and elevations,
as well as the interior that both sides are symmetry. Doors and windows also
have geometric form such as rectangle or a shape that combined of geometrical
form. The structure of the building such as Corinthian columns also has an
inspiration from classical element of Greek and Roman era. Also it is based on
human proportion and paved by white marble material. Inside the church, there
is a treasured art works storage and tomb chamber. This can be seen in the Parthenon, Rome also,
which the interior ornamented elements create an illusion effect in the
perspective view that makes people see the ceiling under the dome higher than
it actually is.
