1 gen 1438 anni - Paolo Uccello

Descrizione:

Paolo Uccello (1397-1475) was an Italian painter and mathematician who was most well known for his contributions to visual perspective in art.
Obsessed by his interest in perspective, he would stay up all night trying to grasp the exact vanishing point in his work. While his contemporaries utilized perspective as a way to narrate different or succeeding stories, Uccello used it to create the illusion of depth in his paintings. He worked in the Late Gothic tradition, emphasizing color and pageantry rather than the classical realism that other artists were pioneering.

Uccello's most famous work is a set of three paintings depicting events that took place at the Battle of San Romano between Florentine and Sienese forces in 1432. The paintings are significant as revealing the development of linear perspective in early Italian Renaissance painting, and unusual as a major secular commission.
