Uccello Paolo
Paolo Uccello, Domenico Veniziano, Andrea Del Castagno (The Library of Great Masters)
DescriptionPaolo Uccello, Domenico Veneziano and Andrea del Castagno, "the first champions of the new order", lived in one of the richest and most complex centuries in the history of the Italian civilization. The Quattrocento was a period of extraordinary importance in the history of the civilization of Florence. Having survived the terrible Black Death of 1348, in the 15th century Florence experienced a new social and political reality that fostered rapid progress. The tangible evidence of the beginning of this new period of peace and economic prosperity was the growing number of works of art commissioned by public organizations. This book outlines some of the features that are common to these three artists making them representatives of the spirit and the art of the Renaissance. It observes the parallel development of their careers and helps us to understand the personality of each artist.

The Hunt in the Forest by Paolo Uccello
DescriptionA masterpiece of the early Renaissance, Paolo Uccello's (1397-1475) 'Hunt in the Forest' is a magical and enigmatic picture. The painting clearly belongs to the last decade of Uccello's career, and stylistic comparisons with the narrative scenes that he painted in the late 1460s in Urbino suggest that 'The Hunt' must date from soon after that. Uccello's lifelong interest in geometry and perspective, together with his skill in depicting animals and landscape, combine in this swansong, a jewel-like painting designed to please a sophisticated audience. The Hunt in the Forest is a rare and tantalising survivor of a particular type of secular painting. A spalliera painting (from spalla, meaning shoulder), it would have been set into the panelling of a room at shoulder height. Scenes from ancient history and mythology, or from medieval romance, were common in spalliera paintings, and many have come down to us. However, the fact that a hunting scene with figures in contemporary dress is elaborately and playfully depicted by a major artist makes this panel virtually unique in Florentine domestic painting of the fifteenth century. Clearly the patron who ordered this picture was a discerning one, familiar with Uccello's distinctive artistic talents. The painting has been in thc collection of the Ashrnolean Museum since 1850.Uccello Paolo News![]()
