Piero della Francesca

Piero della Francesca (c. 1420 - October 12, 1492) was an Italian artist whose work was characterized by his interest in mathematics, particularly how it related to perspective and foreshortening. He wrote a treatise De prospectiva pingendi on how the rules of mathematical foreshortening could be applied to any object, be it a cube or human head. Less obvious in his work is his significant contribution to the 'humanistic' rendition of figures in painting specifically his renditions of Christ. Most of his life was spent in Arezzo and his hometown, Borgo San Sepolcro in Tuscany. He studied under Domenico Veneziano in Florence.


 

The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from the existing paintings.h
