Opis

Piero della Francesca tried to introduce a new idea of painting. Based on a methodical application of perspective, his work cultivated the illusion that it reported on things found rather than imagined. Piero’s art marked an exception in fifteenth-century culture, with its emphasis on poetic inspiration and the artist’s imagination.
