The Bramante Cloister
The Bramante Cloister takes its name from Donato Bramante, the arquitect that came from Milan to Rome and became the first arquitect of Pope Julius II and opponent, in his art, to Michelangelo. The Bramante cloister makes part of the church of Santa Maria della Pace, which worth a visit also for Raphael’s Sibyl.
The cloister was commissioned to Bramante around the 16th century from the cardinal Oliviero Carafa, remembered by the commemorative inscription running all around the perimeter of the cloister.
The cloister has a perfer renaissance style, not only because this is the period in which it is born but also because this was the style that Bramante used at that moment, as he was concerned in reproducing a symple and classical style, free from decorations and ornaments.
Consequently, the cloister transmits a sensation of peace and harmony, given by the homogeneity with which the arquitect united the different elements: the wide colonnade with four arches and the superior loggia made with corinthians pillars and columns.
