(High Renaissance in Italy (1494-1520[ce])*

‘High Renaissance architecture first appeared at Rome in the work of Donato Bramante at the beginning of the 16^th century [ce]. The period was a very brief one, centred almost exclusively on the city of Rome; it ended with the political and religious tensions that shook Europe during the third decade** of the century, culminating in the disastrous sack of Rome in 1527[ce] and the siege of Florence in 1529 [ce]. The High Renaissance was a period of harmony *** and balance in all the arts, perhaps the most classic moment in this respect since the 5^th century BC[E] in Greece.**** It was an idealistic age in which individual characteristics or idiosyncrasies tended to be eliminated.#
