Battistero di San Giovanni, Firenze

Continuing the with some drawings of Romanesque/Renaissance buildings, this is an 11th century building in Florence. It is perhaps one of the most important buildings in the city, it sits in front of the cathedral with the famous red cupola.

The baptistry of Saint John is a beautiful example of a Tuscan Romanesque architectural style that can be compared in its construction and aesthetic appeal to San Miniato al Monte (another Romanesque building in Florence) and eventually to even Renaissance buildings like Santa Maria Novella (facade).
