It was in Bologna that Dürer was taught ( possibly by Luca Pacioli or Bramante ) the principles of linear perspective, and evidently became familiar with the ' costruzione legittima ' in a written description of these principles found only, at this time, in the unpublished treatise of Piero della Francesca.

At this time Raphael was also busy painting the Stanze, various altarpieces, painting versions of Madonna and child and being the principal architect in Rome after the death of Bramante, which gave him little time to do “ The Transfiguration ”.

He was a friend and patron of Bramante and Raphael, and a patron of Michelangelo.

He was invited by the new Pope Julius II, perhaps at the suggestion of his architect Donato Bramante, then engaged on St. Peter's, who came from just outside Urbino and was distantly related to Raphael.

Vasari said Bramante let him in secretly, and the scaffolding was taken down in 1511 from the first completed section.

Another building, for Pope Leo's doctor, the Palazzo di Jacobo da Brescia, was moved in the 1930s but survives ; this was designed to complement a palace on the same street by Bramante, where Raphael himself lived for a time.

The main church building had only recently been completed ( in 1498 ), but was remodeled by Bramante, hired by Ludovico Sforza to build a Sforza family mausoleum.

The chapel was later demolished by Bramante during his rebuilding of the basilica.

To be able to reach the ceiling, Michelangelo needed a support ; the first idea was by Julius ' favoured architect Donato Bramante, who wanted to build for him a scaffold to be suspended in the air with ropes.

However, Bramante did not successfully complete the task, and the structure he built was flawed.

He asked Bramante what was to happen when the painter reached the perforations, but the architect had no answer.

The style adopted for this part of the museum was Italian Renaissance, much use was made of terracotta, brick and mosaic, this north façade was intended as the main entrance to the museum with its bronze doors designed by James Gamble & Reuben Townroe having six panels depicting: Humphry Davy ( chemistry ); Isaac Newton ( astronomy ); James Watt ( mechanics ); Bramante ( architecture ); Michelangelo ( sculpture ); Titian ( painting ); thus representing the range of the museums collections, Godfrey Sykes also designed the terracotta embellishments and the mosaic in the pediment of the North Façade commemorating the Great Exhibition the profits from which helped to fund the museum, this is flanked by terracotta statue groups by Percival Ball.

Leonardo da Vinci was his guest at Vigevano, as was Bramante, who is ascribed with the tall tower that watches over the piazza from the Castello Sforzesco.

Vigevano's main attraction is one of the finest piazzas in Italy, the Piazza Ducale, an elongated rectangle that is almost in the ideal proportions 1: 3 advocated by the architectural theorist Antonio Filarete, which is also said to have been laid out by Bramante, and was certainly built for Ludovico il Moro, starting in 1492-93 and completed in record time, unusual for early Renaissance town planning.

Donato Bramante ( 1444 – 11 March 1514 ) was an Italian architect, who introduced Renaissance architecture to Milan and the High Renaissance style to Rome, where his plan for St. Peter's Basilica formed the basis of design executed by Michelangelo.

Space was limited, and Bramante made a theatrical apse in bas-relief, combining the painterly arts of perspective with Roman details.

However, in 1499, with his Sforza patron driven from Milan by an invading French army, Bramante made his way to Rome, where he was already known to the powerful Cardinal Riario.

Loreto's main monuments occupy the four sides of the piazza: the college of the Jesuits, the Palazzo Comunale ( formerly the Palazzo Apostolico ), designed by Bramante, with an art gallery with works of Lorenzo Lotto, Vouet and Annibale Carracci as well as a collection of maiolica, and the Shrine of the Holy House ( Santuario della Santa Casa ).

In Milan, Bramante also built the tribune of Santa Maria delle Grazie ( 1492 – 99 ); other early works include the Cloisters of Sant ' Ambrogio, Milan ( 1497 – 1498 ), and some other constructions in Pavia and possibly Legnano.

The domed Renaissance church of Santa Maria della Consolazione ( begun in 1508 ), located on the flank of the city hill, just outside the walls, is often attributed, although without sufficient reason, to Bramante.

His final work, Interpreting the Renaissance: Princes, Cities, Architects, published in 1992, synthesizes the history of architectural ideas and projects through discussions of the great centres of architectural innovation in Italy ( Florence, Rome, and Venice ), key patrons from the middle of the fifteenth century to the early sixteenth century, and crucial figures such as Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Francesco di Giorgio, Lorenzo de ’ Medici, Bramante, Raphael, Baldassare Castiglione and Giulio Romano.

Beatrice had good taste, and it is said that under her prompting her husband's patronage of artists became more selective and the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante were employed at the court.

Some years later Donato Bramante linked the Vatican with the Belvedere, under a commission from Pope Julius II by creating the Cortile del Belvedere (" Courtyard of the Belvedere "), in which stood the Apollo Belvedere, among the most famous of antique sculptures.

* The massive Forte Michelangelo (" Michelangelo's fort ") was first commissioned from Bramante by Pope Julius II, to defend the port of Rome, and was completed in 1535 by Giuliano Leno and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, under Paul III.

Around the house is a tall marble screen designed by Bramante and executed under Popes Leo X, Clement VII and Paul III, by Andrea Sansovino, Girolamo Lombardo, Bandinelli, Guglielmo della Porta and others.

He was trained by Donato Bramante, adopting a diminutive form of his master's name.

Donato Bramante painted a fresco, " Democritus and Heraclitus ," in Casa Panigarola in Milan.

However, the enthusiasm he shared with Filarete for the centrally-planned building gave rise in this period to numerous architectural drawings, which were influential in the work of Donato Bramante and others.

Shvidkovsky noted the resemblance of the cathedral's floorplan to Italian concepts by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Donato Bramante, but most likely Filarete's Trattato di architettura.

In 1787-1792 Quarenghi designed and built a wing along the Winter Canal with the Raphael Loggias to replicate the loggia in the Apostolic Palace in Rome designed by Donato Bramante and frescoed by Raphael.

It emphasized bold and clear massings with a detailing, such as the rusticated ground level and giant order above, that derived in part from the work of Andrea Palladio and Donato Bramante.
