Piero della Francesca Piero della Francesca (1420?-92). One of the great artists of the early Italian Renaissance , Piero della Francesca painted religious works that are marked by their simple serenity and clarity. He was also interested in geometry and mathematics and was known for his contributions in these fields. Although the date and place of Piero della Francesca's birth are not definite, it seems likely that he was born in about 1420 in Sansepolcro, Italy. His father was a well-to-do tanner and shoemaker, and Piero's varied accomplishments indicate that he received a good education. He probably studied painting with one of several skilled artists of the Sienese school who lived in Sansepolcro. By 1439 Piero was working with Domenico Veneziano on frescoes for the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence. His experience and contacts in Florence, where he would have seen the works of such sculptors, artists, and architects as Donatello, Brunelleschi, Masaccio, and Fra Angelico , had a profound influence on Piero's style. Piero was skilled in perspective, and his paintings are also known for the care with which he rendered the landscapes that provide the backgrounds for his figures. Throughout his life he maintained his ties with Sansepolcro, but he traveled widely.

And it very often happens in cases where they have almost brought their works to completion, that they suffer from the presumption of those who endeavour to coverthelrownass,shldewlththehonouredshin of the lion. And although Time, which is called the father of Truth, sooncr or later brings the tNth to light, yet they are for some tiine defrauded of the honour due to their labours. Tliis was the case with Piero della Francesca of the Borgo a S. Sepolcro. A consummate arithmetician, geometrician and per- spectivist, the blindness which came upon him in liis old age and the termination of his life, prevented him from displaying the results of his labours and the numerous books wri tteii by him, which are still preserved in his native Borgo.

PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Biography Piero Della Francesca was an Italian painter of the first rank whose style was one of the most individual of the early Renaissance. Piero was born in Borgo San Sepolcro, a small city in southern Tuscany, around 1420. He appears to have studied art in Florence, but his career was spent in other cities, among them Rome, Urbino, Ferrara, Rimini, and Arezzo. He was strongly influenced by Masaccio and Domenico Veneziano. His solid, rounded figures are derived from Masaccio, while from Domenico he absorbed a predilection for delicate colors and scenes bathed in cool, clear daylight. To these influences he added an innate sense of order and clarity. He wrote treatises on solid geometry and on perspective, and his works reflect these interests. He conceived of the human figure as a volume in space, and the outlines of his subjects have the grace, abstraction, and precision of geometric drawings. Federigo da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza (1465, Uffizi, Florence) is one of his most famous works. The undisputed high point of his career was the series of large frescoes

Bio: Piero della Francesca (approx. 1420-1492) Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for permission to use following biographical information from Piero Della Francesca was an Italian painter of the first rank whose style was one of the most individual of the early Renaissance. Piero was born in Borgo San Sepolcro, a small city in southern Tuscany, around 1420. He appears to have studied art in Florence, but his career was spent in other cities, among them Rome, Urbino, Ferrara, Rimini, and Arezzo. He was strongly influenced by Masaccio and Domenico Veneziano. His solid, rounded figures are derived from Masaccio, while from Domenico he absorbed a predilection for delicate colors and scenes bathed in cool, clear daylight. To these influences he added an innate sense of order and clarity. He wrote treatises on solid geometry and on perspective, and his works reflect these interests. He conceived of the human figure as a volume in space, and the outlines of his subjects have the grace, abstraction, and precision of geometric drawings. Piero's later works show the probable influence of Flemish art, which he assimilated without betraying his own monumental style. In works such as the Sinigallia Madonna (1470?, Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, Urbino), he adapted to his own purposes an attention to detail and a meticulous treatment of still life that were characteristic of Flemish art.

Home Life of Francesca Gallery of Francesca PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA Painter An Ideal City User Comments: Name Date Comments: it´s a good image Name : Unknown Date Comments : This painting is a great work of art!! Name : Unknown Date Comments : what is an ideal city? does it ever exist in human history or have we ever got close to it? Maybe it is a product of the contemporary social conditions. Francesca's ideal city has no citizen, no mess, no trace of social interaction. can city space still embody meaning when there is no user? Maybe Francesca tell us that ideal city never exists and hardly will. is he posting a question or mocking at our real living cities? Name : Unknown Date Comments : Actually, i come to realise that a perfect city is impossible to imagine. That an ideal city is pigment of one's imagination. It is completed by our wants instead of our needs. Is it that "ideal" that the ideal city is completely clean, with a cloudy blue sky, old fashion hotel like buildings. This is the sort of place you would find in the early 16th century in the west. In this picture, i find no imagination what so ever. The IDEAL city should not be what we imagine but what we desire to be great! Otherwise, it is a well drawn and architectural featured piece of work. Very well done. Name : Unknown Date Comments : I have read that this was possibly painted by students of Piero and not by piero himself. Does anyone know if that's the case? I also heard that some computer scientist entered all the points in the painting into a CAD program and found that it was possible to move around the buildings in 3-D.
