Piero della Francesca Biography

born 1419 - died 1492

Teacher of: Luca Signorelli (1450-1523)

THOSE are indeed unfortunate who, after most arduous studies to the end that they may assist others and leave a reputation behind them, are not allowed, either through sickness or death, to complete the Piero della Francesca paintings which they have begun.

Piero della Francesca was accordingly sent for by Guidobaldo Feltro, the old Duke of Urbino, 1 for whom he made many beautiful pictures of small figures, most of which have come to grief during the numerous wars from which that State has suffered. However, some of his writings on geometry and perspective are still preserved there, and in these Piero della Francesca proves himself not inferior to anyone of his own day, or perhaps of all time. All Piero della Francesca paintings give evidence of his skill, being full of perspectives, especially a vase represented so as to show its front and back, its sides, its bottom and its mouth.

In the Piero della Francesca paintings which he made and which were pulled down there were, as I have heard them described, some fine heads from life, so well executed that but for the gift of speech they seemed alive. A goodly number of these heads have been preserved, because Raphael caused them to be copied, as they all represented great personalities. Among them were Niccolo Forte- braccio; Charles VII., King of France; Antonio Colonna, Prince of Salerno; Francesco Carmignuola; Giovanni Vitellesco; Bessarione, the cardinal; Francesco Spinola; Battista da Caneto. All these portraits were given to Giovio by Guilio Romano, the pupil and heir of Raphael, and were deposited by Giovio in his museum at Como. At Milan, over the door of S. Sepolcro, 5 have seen a dead Christ foreshortened by the same hand, the whole Piero della Francesca painting being no more than a braccia in height, but showing the whole length with ease and judgment, though the task seems impossible. That city contains other of Piero della Francesca works, in the house of the young Marquis Ostanesia, where the chambers and loggias are executed by him with great skill and power in foreshortening the figures.

Having finished Piero della Francesca painting at Rome, he returned to the Borgo, his mother being dead. Inside the middle door of the Pieve there the painter did two saints in fresco which are considered very fine. In the convent of the friars of St. Augustine Piero della Francesca painted the picture of the high altar, 6 a much-admired work, and in fresco he made Our Lady of Mercy in a company, or as some say aconfratern1ty. In the palace of the Conservadori Piero della Francesca made a Resurrection of Christ, which is considered to be the best of all Piero della Francesca paintings in that city.

This Piero della Francesca artwork contains stories of the cross, from the time when the sons of Adam, when burying their father, sow the seed of the tree under his tongue, to the exaltation of the cross by the Emperor Heraclius, who, carrying it on his shoulders, enters Jerusalem bare-headed and bare-footed.

The Piero della Francesca painting contains many fine ideas and praise worthy attitudes, as, for example, the dresses of the women of the Queen of Sheba, executed in a smooth and novel manner, many Portraits anti (hue in style and full of life, a divinely measured row of Corinthian columns, a serf leaning on his spade awaiting the commands of St. Helena, while the three crosses are being dug up, all of which cannot be improved upon.

But the most remarkable indication of his resource, judgment and art is Piero della Francesca painting of an angel fore- shortened, with its head downwards, which appears suddenly by night to carry the sign of victory to Constantine, as Piero della Francesca is sleeping in a tent guarded by a chamberlain, and by some other armed men, obscured by the darkness of the night.
