Palazzo Medici-Riccardi Windows by Michelangelo
For Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, Michelangelo created one of the most
influential window designs of all time. It is known as a kneeling
window because of the shape of the consoles supporting the windowsill,
which reach almost to the ground like a pair of legs.
 The Palazzo Medici-Riccardi windows, which Michelangelo designed in 1517, stands in Florence, Italy. |
Michelangelo was for a while under the patronage of the Medicis. One of his major works for them was the Medici Chapel, which he started work on just a few years after the windows of the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi. Go to the next page to learn more.
