Excerpt from Filippo Di Ser Brunellesco It is very difficult to obtain enough data for an authentic life of Filippo di Ser Brunellesco. In writing the life of a painter, his own works are before us just as he painted them, and they unerringly reveal the genius and character of the man. A sculptors statues and reliefs also show us visibly his own handiwork untouched by any sacrilegious hand but the gentle one of time; the music of a composer who lived a hundred years ago, is with us still as he conceived it; and the thoughts of the poet or philosopher are embalmed in their own language within the leaves of their books. But with an architect like Brunelleschi the case is different. His designs were changed even in the hands that continued them on his death; his buildings were restored(?) by subsequent architects and incongruous bits inserted in them, like Ammannati's Roman pediments inserted to Brunelleschi's grand arched doorways in the Pitti. Beyond the Pazzi chapel and the old sacristy of San Lorenzo, which Brunelleschi finished during his lifetime, I believe there is not another work of his by which a modem critic could fairly judge his design. Thus, the works which should best illustrate his nobility of conception are now more misleading than convincing in their evidence.
