| biography:
| Architect, born in Dalmatia. Little is known of his early work or training, but he was in Urbino c.1465, and by 1468 had been appointed architect in chief at the Palazzo Ducal of Federico da Montefeltro. The design of the palace courtyard evidenced his familiarity with recent Renaissance masterpieces in the field, particularly Brunelleschi's Foundling Hospital, Florence. He is recognized as one of the leading figures of 15th-c Italian architecture. |
