Florence - Palazzo Rucellai (Museo Alinari) 
|
|
The architect Bernardo Rossellino built the Palazzo Rucellai between 1446 and 1451 to designs by Leon Battista Alberti. It is one of Florence's finest Renaissance mansions, and was commissioned by Giovanni Rucellai, a wealthy merchant who acquired his wealth and status in the 15th century.
Alberti and Bernardo Rossellino, as architect and artist, were able to give free rein to their talents on this building, as their rich client readily provided them with the means to do so.
