Cosimo de' Medici, a great patron of the arts, sponsoring two of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, while supporting Brunelleschi to complete the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, which is known to be "Duomo.“

Cosimo de' Medici, a great patron of the arts, sponsoring two of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, while supporting Brunelleschi to complete the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, which is known to be
Cosimo de' Medici was a great patron of the arts, sponsoring two of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, and supporting Brunelleschi in completing the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known as
Cosimo de' Medici, a great patron of the arts, sponsored both of Donatello's most famous works, a statue of David and a statue of Judith, so that he could support Brunelleschi when he completed the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, that is known as
Cosimo de' Medici, a great patron of the arts, sponsoring the most famous two Donatello works, statues of David and Judith, he supported Brunelleschi in completing the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known by
Cosimo de' Medici was a great patron of the arts, sponsored both of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, and he supported Brunelleschi when he completed the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known as

From the context of sentence, it is clear that we need 'known as' rather than 'known to be' or 'known by' . A and D are out

Cosimo de' Medici was a great patron of the arts, sponsoring two of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, and supporting Brunelleschi in completing the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known as.
We can read the sentence as:-
Sponsoring two of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, and supporting Brunelleschi in completing the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Cosimo de' Medici was a great patron of the arts known as.
Sponsoring and supporting are parallel.
resolves modifiers issues


Cosimo de' Medici, a great patron of the arts, sponsored both of Donatello's most famous works, a statue of David and a statue of Judith, so that he could support Brunelleschi when he completed the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, that is known as. 'so that' in this sentence implies that CM was intentionally doing something, but this is not the intended meaning.

Cosimo de' Medici was a great patron of the arts, sponsored both of Donatello's most famous works, statues of David and Judith, and he supported Brunelleschi when he completed the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known as ' sponsored both of Donatello's most famous works' is an independent sentence, and is not separated by proper punctuation
