Paolo Uccello. Capturing war
Description
Giving free rein to his passion for perspective, Paolo Uccello immortalized a clash between Florentine and Sienese troops in his Battle of San Romano. This program uses that three-panel Early Renaissance masterpiece to gain insights into Uccello's fascination with three-dimensionality as well as his intense curiosity about geometrical forms, color, and movement.
