# Studies for a Building on a Centralised Plan [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEONARDO da Vinci]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Pencil and ink on paper ## Commentary This drawing displays some of Leonardo's plans for the new dome to be built at the Milan Cathedral. Several of the items on this paper capture the dome from different angles plus there is also a bird's eye view for the planning of the exterior. Leonardo's work was not realised, other designs by Milanese court architects were preferred. The drawing is from Codex B in the Institut de France in Paris, a model book of the types of sacred and profane buildings. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Allegory with wolf and eagle]() - [Anatomical studies \(larynx and leg\)]() - [Anatomical studies of a male shoulder]() - [Anatomical studies of the shoulder]() - [Anatomical studies]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
