It is also assumed that this was the last fresco painted by Piero in the chapel. *** Keywords: ************* Author: PIERO della FRANCESCA Title: Head of an Angel Time-line: 1451-1500 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious

RM2Y1798G–PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Ideal City c. 1470 Panel, 60 x 200 cm Galleria Nazionale, Urbino Piero gradually stopped painting almost twenty years before his death. Certainly one of the reeasons would have been his ill health and his growing blindness; but it is also probable that he wanted to examine further the theories behind those laws of perspective and proportions that, with the addition of his original and inventive talent, had contributed to the creation of a modern art so different from his, Piero della Francesca responded with his

RM2Y178AJ–PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Annunciation c. 1455 Fresco, 329 x 193 cm San Francesco, Arezzo The subject of this painting has nothing to do with the Golden Legend, this is an addition by Piero. The classical architecture is present once again with the elegant column in the centre. The symmetry of proportions is broken by vanishing point, placed not in the centre but to the right, behind the Virgin. There is great attention to even the smallest detail, brought out by the reflections of the light. From the transparent veil that covers Mary's

RM2Y1799A–PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Polyptych of the Misericordia (detail) 1445-1462 Oil and tempera on panel, base 330 cm, height 273 cm Pinacoteca Comunale, Sansepolcro This is the central part of the tympanum of the polyptych. It represents the Crucifixion which reveals the influence of Masaccio's polyptych for San Francesco in Pisa. But Masaccio created a dramatic atmosphere both with the moving gestures of the characters and with the strong, almost violent, colours; Piero's composition, on the other hand, is orderly and symmetric and the gest

RM2Y1789W–PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Adoration of the Holy Wood and the Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba c. 1452 Fresco, 336 x 747 cm San Francesco, Arezzo Two episodes are shown in the same fresco, separated from each other by the column of the royal palace. The architectural element (the column) is the centre of the composition and the vanishing point for the whole fresco. The episode on the left is drawn from the 'Golden Legend', while that in the right is an iconographical element added by Piero. *** Keywords: ************* Aut

RM2Y17995–PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Polyptych of the Misericordia (detail) 1460-62 Oil and tempera on panel, 134 x 91 cm Pinacoteca Comunale, Sansepolcro The last part of the polyptych is this central panel showing the Madonna della Misericordia (Madonna of Mercy). The difficulty of dealing with a solid gold background, requested by the patrons, is solved here by Piero by placing the kneeling members of the confraternitas (who commissioned the altarpiece) in the realistic space created by the Madonna's mantle, held open around the figures like the

These two stories were painted by Piero's main assistant Giovanni da Piamonte. *** Keywords: ************* Author: PIERO della FRANCESCA Title: Torture of the Jew Time-line: 1451-1500 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious

RM2Y178N1–PIERO della FRANCESCA (b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro) Battle between Constantine and Maxentius c. 1458 Fresco, 322 x 764 cm San Francesco, Arezzo This episode certainly carried an important idealistic hidden meaning and also touched on contemporary events, at a time when Pius II was planning a crusade against the Turks. All attempts to reconcile the two churches had in fact failed, so that, after the Turkish conquest of Constantinople, the only solution appeared to be to unite all Christians in the struggle against the Infidel. In Piero's fresco, Constantine face
