Baldassare Peruzzi (born March 7, 1481 in Ancaiano (now part of Sovicille ) near Siena , † January 6, 1536 in Rome ) was an Italian architect and painter . His work had a significant influence on the revival of ancient systems of order in the architecture of Italy in the 16th century.
Life
He was born as Baldassarre Tommaso Peruzzi, son of Giovanni di Salvestro di Salvadore Peruzzi , one of Volterra originating Weber . He learned his craft as an architect from Bernardino Fungai and Francesco di Giorgio . The artists Pinturicchio and Sodoma , who were working in Siena at the time, had a great influence on his work .
Peruzzi was first mentioned as an artist in 1501, when he was paid for work on the Baptistery of San Giovanni in the Cathedral of Siena and was named in the relevant documents. In the middle of 1503 he moved to Rome. There he built the Villa Farnesina between 1509 and 1511 and painted some frescoes . In 1520 he was appointed master builder of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome , and in 1529 master builder of the cathedral in Siena . From 1527 to 1532 he worked as Architetto della Repubblica on the defense strategy of Siena and the associated province. Outside of Siena, the fortifications were reinforced in Sarteano , Torrita di Siena and other strategic places in the Republic of Siena. In Siena itself, Peruzzi reinforced the city walls and five new bastions were built ( Bastione di Porta Laterina , Bastione di San Marco , Bastione di San Prospero , Bastione San Viene and the Fortino delle Donne ), three of which still exist. His successor as Architetto della Repubblica was Giovanni Battista Pelori (1483–1558), who was born in Siena and learned his craft from Baldassare Peruzzi.
Between 1532 and 1536 Peruzzi built the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne in Rome , which is one of the most important works of Mannerism . In 1535 Vannoccio Biringuccio succeeded him as master builder.
Peruzzi achieved particular importance for the architectural theory of the Renaissance through the graphic documentation of ancient Roman buildings. His drawings became the basis of the Seven Books on Architecture by his colleague Sebastiano Serlio . This work became the most widely read architectural treatise in the second half of the 16th century.
Peruzzi was buried in the Roman pantheon . He left a son, Giovanni Sallustio Peruzzi , who also became an artist.
