"Design for the facade of San Lorenzo, Florence 1516" by Giuliano da Sangallo is an architectural drawing that represents one of the many unrealized projects for the facade of the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy. Giuliano da Sangallo, a prominent Italian Renaissance architect, was known for his contributions to the architectural landscape of Florence and his association with the Medici family. The Basilica di San Lorenzo, one of Florence's largest and oldest churches, had long been a focal point for architectural innovation and artistic patronage, particularly by the Medici, who sought to enhance its grandeur.

In 1516, Giuliano da Sangallo was commissioned to create a design for the unfinished facade of San Lorenzo. This commission came during a period of intense artistic activity in Florence, as the city was a hub for Renaissance art and architecture. Sangallo's design reflects the Renaissance ideals of symmetry, proportion, and the revival of classical antiquity. His proposal for the facade would have incorporated elements such as pilasters, entablatures, and a harmonious arrangement of architectural features that were intended to complement the existing structure of the basilica.

Although Sangallo's design was never executed, it remains an important example of Renaissance architectural thought and the ongoing efforts to complete the facade of San Lorenzo, a task that had eluded many architects, including Michelangelo. The drawing itself is a testament to Sangallo's skill and vision, showcasing his ability to blend classical motifs with the innovative spirit of the Renaissance. Today, the design is studied by scholars and enthusiasts of Renaissance architecture, offering insights into the artistic ambitions and architectural challenges of the period.
