Leon Battista Alberti, Italian architect, art theorist and writer, was born in Genoa in 1406 and died in Rome in 1472. He began his artistic studies in Padua and Bolonia, but the most important period of formation passed in Rome, where he in 1432 started to work in the office of an apostolic abbreviator. He studied deeply the classic architecture, its design, proportions, decorations and projecting. Having met in 1434 Brunelleschi, Donatello, Mosaccio in Florence, L.B.Alberti wrote treatise "Della pittura" (1435), in which he collected and analyzed perspective inventions in architecture by Brunelleschi, and theorized the Florentine art of the beginning of 15th century.
