The early modern styles of Europe include the Renaissance and the Baroque. Renaissance architecture uses the classical orders, mathematically precise ratios of height and width, symmetry, proportion and harmony, passes through early, high and late stages from about 1400, 1500 and 1520, and counts Filippo Brunelleschi as its father. The Baroque era lasted from roughly 1580 to 1780 and was a time of enormous contrasts, opulence and innovation beside death and crisis. Architects from Ticino in Switzerland played a leading role in shaping the emergence of Baroque architecture in Rome in the late 1500s and early 1600s.
