Subject Information	[Bramante's] self-assured distillation of antique forms was apparent even in his first Roman building, the cloister of Santa Maria della Pace where the heavy piers with applied orders in sequence (Corinthian and Ionic) on the two stories, the trabeation of the upper story, and the unadorned, sculpturesque power of the lower story, were derived from systems used in the Colosseum, the Theater of Marcellus, and other eloquent ruins. Source: Marvin Trachtenberg and Isabelle Hyman, 'Architecture: from Prehistory to Post-Modernism', p 3 / 'According to legend, blood flowed from a statue of the Virgin above the altar [of this church] after someone threw a pebble at it. This legend motivated Pope Sixtus to rebuild the church in the 1500s on the foundations of an even older sanctuary. For generations after that, its curved porticos, cupola atop an octagonal base, cloisters by Bramante, and frescoes by Raphael helped make it one of the most fashionable churches for aristocrats residing in the surrounding palazzos.'
