San Lorenzo Del Escorial
lSAN LORENZO DEL ESCORIAL.
FICHA TÉCNICA:
NOMBRE: Monasterio de San Lorenzo del Escorial
FECHA: 1557
ARQUITECTO: Juan Bautista de Toledo,posteriormente intervinieron también Juan de Herrera,Juan de Mijares,Francisco de Mora y Gian Battista Castello.
SITUACIÓN: San Lorenzo del Escorial (Madrid)
ESTILO: Renacentista

TIPOLOGÍA: San Lorenzo del Escorial es un complejo de basílica,palacio y monasterio situado a unos pocos kilómetros de Madrid,la función que desempeñó en su día fue de residencia de La Familia Real Española,la basílica es lugar de sepultura de los reyes de España y el monasterio, actualmente, es residencia de la orden de frailes de San Agustín.
ELEMENTOS ARQUITECTÓNICOS:
Análisis de la planta:Las medidas del rectángulo de la planta, según señalaba el padre Sigüenza en 1605, son de 205x162 metros. La altura total del punto más elevado de la cruz tomada con respecto al pavimento de la iglesia es de 95 metros.
La planta de la iglesia, tenía unas naves de menores dimensiones que las actuales, rematadas con una capilla de ábside semicircular. Quedando disconforme Felipe II con esta solución hará llamar a Francesco Paccioto que le aconsejará al monarca que el templo tenga el ábside plano. Finalmente el artífice de la solución definitiva fue Juan de Herrera, que construyó un templo cuadrado basado en la planta del Vaticano sobrepuesto a una planta basilical tradicional con el altar al final de la nave principal. A Herrera también se debe la imagen unitaria de las fachadas con menos torres y sin escalonamiento, lo que contribuyó a la potente imagen final del edificio.
La planta definitiva del edificio, con sólo cuatro torres en las esquinas y el Palacio Real haciendo de «mango», recuerda la forma de una parrilla, por lo que tradicionalmente se ha afirmado que se escogió esta traza en honor a San Lorenzo, martirizado en Roma en una parrilla, ya que el 10 de agosto de 1557, día de la festividad del santo, tuvo lugar la batalla de San Quintín. De ahí

    Since Mrs. Peguero completed her first group of stunning flowers, each has shown the stages of life from birth to adolescence, adulthood to aged and finally death.

    Two equilateral triangles become the major organizational components, delineating the location of the concave and convex niches. These triangles measure one hundred and five palms and create a hexagon with each side measuring thirty-five palms. The triangle pointing towards the west creates the three convex niches with the main entrance at the westernmost tip. The triangle pointing east creates the concave surfaces, with 35 palm diameter semicircles. These geometries are then combined to form the beautiful plan of the church.…

    Built in the courtyard of San Pietro in Montorio in Rome in 1502, the Tempietto is a small commemorative tomb for St. Peter. Drawing from the style of early Greek temples called a tholos, the Tempietto uses a centralized plan of a peristyle enveloping a cella. Harkening back to the classical obsession with symmetry and proportion, Bramante achieved an incredible harmony and balance between the dome, drum and base. Additional features such as the stylobate, steps, colonnade and dome all are derived from classical architecture. The columns are an example of the Doric order. The circular temple supports a classical entablature, consisting of a frieze with triglyphs and metopes, which consist of symbols of Christian passion. Although antique models provided the inspiration for all its details, the combination of parts and details were new and original, especially the fusion of the antique with new Renaissance styles. For example, Bramante adds a dome, which had a renewed interest in the Renaissance, to a tholos design which traditionally did not include a domed roof. The Tempietto is the perfect example of the Renaissance relationship between ideal ancient geometry, perfection and the divine. The connection between ideal ancient geometry and the divine was very important to Renaissance artists who strove to create exemplars of the perfection of heaven, using geometry and symmetry. Including classical elements as a connection to the divine, Bramante’s Tempietto fosters a link between architecture from antiquity and the expression of the Renaissance Christian faith. Comprised of the intricate mixture Greek influence, Renaissance architectural ideals and Bramante’s own person style, the Tempietto is a clear example of the innovation and thought behind Renaissance buildings, which sets them apart from their…

    Elegant and, as always, immaculate in appearance, Leandro finally descended the magnificent staircase of the family castillo with all the cool assurance and dignity of his grand forebears. He knew that he was bored and he scorned the feeling, well aware that he was bountifully blessed with health, wealth and success. The walls he passed bore the portraits of his predecessors—the very flower of proud Castilian aristocracy—ranging from the first duke, who had been a famous soldier and a contemporary of Christopher Columbus, to Leandro’s father, a distinguished banker who had died when his son was barely five years old.…
