The Tempietto in Rome by Leon Battista Alberti is a small Renaissance masterpiece that turns classical harmony into a simple, elegant form. With careful proportions, a clear geometric plan, and measured use of columns, it shows Alberti’s humanist idea: architecture as orderly, rational beauty from the past. Its restrained decoration, balanced cornices, and play of light and shadow give it a calm, sculptural feel. Drawn in loose, fine swirling lines, this drawing captures the light and shape of the mini temple so distinctively.
