SANTA MARIA DELLE GRAZIE, MILAN, Italy: Bramante, who came from Urbino, structurally enlarged this church and added large semi-circular apses, a drum-shaped dome surrounded by columns, and a spectacular cloister and refectory. On the north wall is The Last Supper, the unrivalled masterpiece painted between 1495 and 1497 by Leonardo da Vinci, whose work was to herald a new era in the history of art.
Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato (Giuliano da Sangallo)The capitals are moreover more ornate with leaves, flowers, wreaths and winged horses These last inspired by the capitals of Mars Ultor temple in the Augustus forum in Rome.The architrave is a three band architrave, the frieze very ornate and the cornice very projecting. They make the entablature very far from the normalized simplicity of Brunelleschi.
