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
