The Basilica<span> di Santa Maria del Fiore (Saint Mary of the Flower), nicknamed the Duomo after the enormous octagonal </span>dome<span> on its east end, is the </span>cathedral<span> of Florence, Italy, and, arguably, the birthplace of the </span>Renaissance.
<span>A cathedral is a </span>bishop<span>'s church. There are many other </span>Catholicchurches in Florence, many of them associated with the Renaissance, including Santa Maria Novella, Santa Croce, and the Brancacci Chapel. However, the Duomo is the home church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese<span> of Florence, which traces its roots to 394 CE.</span>
<span>Although construction was begun in 1296, the cathedral did not get the structure that gives it its name until 1436. The east end of the church was open to the </span>elements<span> or covered with flat, unstable roofing for more than a </span>century<span>. </span>
<span>The huge octagonal shape proved </span>daunting<span> to </span>engineer<span>s and </span>architect<span>s. Italian architects were familiar with circular domed shapes, such as the Pantheon in Rome. However, those domes were constructed with </span>concrete<span>. The recipe for concrete had been lost in the </span>Dark Ages<span>. </span>
Medieval<span> gothic cathedrals, such as Notre Dame de Paris in France, relied on </span>flying buttresses to support their massive stone weight. Architects and engineers of the budding Renaissance were determined not to use flamboyant Gothic style or flying buttresses—they wanted to look back to the simple, clean lines of their Roman past.
<span>The architect </span>Filippo Brunelleschi<span> came up with a solution. The Duomo is actually </span>two<span> domes. The inner dome is made of </span>sandstone<span> and </span>marble<span>. The outer dome is made of </span>brick-and-mortar<span>—each brick carefully designed, shaped, and fired to support the dome. The dome was constructed without any supports beneath it. </span>
<span>The Duomo was an immediate success, and Brunelleschi became the chief architect associated with the Renaissance. </span>
<span>In an ironic twist, the marble facade of the cathedral (not visible in this photograph) was only completed in the late 1800s, during a period when medieval, not Renaissance, art was popular. The birthplace of the Renaissance has a medieval face.

Answer:
The oldest known examples of abstract art, however, are generally from younger sites that post-date 42,000 years ago, such as Chauvet (~32,000 years old) and Maros (~39,000 years old). This example from Blombos is at least 30,000 years older than this find

Explanation: Rhythm in music is counted by beats. In this music sheet, the time signature is 4/4, which means each measure will have four beats. However, If we want to divide the measures into shorter notes, we use different figures. Each figure has its respective amount of subdivided beats, for example; In the first measure we have a quarter dotted note (1 & 1/2 beats), and then we have a quarter note (1 beat) to complete the 4 beats in the measure. Another example is in the second measure, we have an eighth note (1/2) and in the last measure we have a whole note (4 beats). Whenever a new figure starts, it is marked in bold.
