paolo uccello

Uccello made a significant contribution to the development of linear perspective, which he achieved through the precise calculation of lines and proportions. His work retained certain elements of the Gothic style, evident in its decorative elegance and refined detail. The main subjects of his paintings are battle scenes and religious compositions, distinguished by their dynamism and meticulous execution. Through his approach, based on the harmony of geometry and form, Paolo Uccello laid the groundwork for the realistic depiction of space in European art. Among his famous masterpieces, the monumental painting The Battle of San Romano stands out, demonstrating Uccello’s mastery in conveying the movement and tension of battle. Other renowned works include Saint George and the Dragon, The Hunt in the Forest, and The Funerary Monument to Sir John Hawkwood. Today, Uccello’s paintings are housed in major museums around the world, including the Louvre, the National Gallery in London, and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
