1 gen 1470 anni - St. George and the Dragon Paolo Uccello 1470

Descrizione:

We don’t know who this painting was for, but its small scale and non-religious feel – it’s more about a magical adventure than Christian virtue – suggest it was intended for someone’s home.
Uccello was fascinated by single point perspective – using lines that lead to one point to create an illusion of depth within a painting – but he hasn’t quite mastered it here. The geometric patches of greenery recede towards the horizon, but the rectangular stones of the ground slope up to the right.
