Paollo Uccello

Paolo Uccello, a name that almost sounds like "Obsessed with Birds (Uccelli) and Perspective," perfectly encapsulates his artistic style!

Uccello was a pioneer in Renaissance painting, obsessed with perspective and creating the illusion of depth. Think dramatic, almost mathematical, arrangements of figures and landscapes. Key characteristics include:

• Precise linear perspective: He experimented intensely, sometimes to the point of distorting figures.
• Flattened figures: While focused on perspective, his figures can appear somewhat flat and stylized.
• Bright, decorative colors: His palette is vibrant and eye-catching.
• Medieval romanticism and chivalric themes: Battles, hunts, and courtly scenes are common.

His works often depicted subjects that were romantic and heroic, though the execution felt very calculated and focused on the math of perspective.
