Piero della Francesca Virtual Tour – the Rational Painter of the Renaissance
He was a painter and a mathematician. He used geometry and mathematical theory along with Renaissance Humanism to produce some of the most striking religious artworks of the early Renaissance period. He painted the Resurrection, often called the most beautiful painting in the world…His name was Piero della Francesca!
Whether you have or haven’t heard about Piero della Francesca, his works left a profound mark on the Renaissance era that you cannot have easily missed. Unlike other painters of the era, Piero was known better for his mathematical theories than for his art.
His approach was innovative, merging rigorous mathematical frameworks with humanist principles to produce religious artworks that nowadays captivate viewers with their depth and beauty.
In the mid-15th century, particularly during the 1460s and 70s, Piero became an integral part of the vibrant court life in Urbino under the Duke Federico da Montefeltro. It was here, amidst the intellectual and cultural ferment of the time, that he was commissioned to produce some of his most celebrated works, including the iconic double portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Urbino and the profound Flagellation. These pieces, housed in prestigious galleries like the Uffizi and the National Gallery of Marche, stand as testaments to Piero’s innovative spirit and his lasting impact on the world of art.
