== Influences to Architecture ==
One many specifically sticks out, as an influence to  [[High Renaissance]] and the [[Mannerism]] period is [[Michelangelo]]. He created pieces of art that inspired architects of his time to expand their horizon out of their comfort zone. This brought out a whole new decorative side to the classical architecture as seen before. 

[[Sebastiano Serlio]] wrote his ''Seven Books on Architecture'' that would impact the entire architecture community from then on. The six books consisted of advice to future architects of and surveyed buildings. The seventh and eighth volumes were added at later dates following the rage of the original six.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cartwright |first=Mark |title=Sebastiano Serlio |url=https://www.worldhistory.org/Sebastiano_Serlio/ |access-date=2024-12-14 |website=World History Encyclopedia |language=en}}</ref>
