Piero della Francesca
Tuscan Renaissance man
Piero della Francesca (c. 1420–92), one of the greatest of all Tuscan painters, wrote two theoretical books on perspective, and then illustrated them with a lifetime’s work, reducing painting to the bare essentials: mathematics, light and colour. His only works in Venice are in the Accademia and the Vittorio Cini Collection.
