(mentor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Programme Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences Project AR2A011 Date 2024-04-18 Abstract This thesis conducts a comparative analysis of Michelangelo and Bernini's sculptures, urban planning works, and architectural works. Contrasts emerge in their interpretations: Michelangelo's David embodies Renaissance ideals of perfection, while Bernini’s David exudes baroque dynamism. Both artists drew inspiration from Greek sculptures; Michelangelo idealized the human form, while Bernini embraced emotion and movement. The urban plans reveal similar symmetries but differing spatial philosophies: Michelangelo's enclosed Piazza del Campidoglio versus Bernini’s inviting St. Peters Square. In the architectural works, Michelangelo’s Sforza Chapel which has a sense of serenity, contrasts with Bernini’s narrative-rich ornamentation. Michelangelo's shift towards dynamic expression, influenced by discoveries like the Laocoön group, paved the way for Bernini's further exploration of Baroque aesthetics. This analysis illuminates their distinct contributions within Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture.
