About the Artist
Art historians regard the Renaissance to be the true beginning of art history. The term "renaissance" means "rebirth". Paolo Uccello's personal life was stormy and tumultuous. He was known to be high-spirited and unpredictable. Paolo Uccello was famous for his magnificent historical battle scenes and also was in huge demand as the finest portraitist of his day.
Paolo Uccello worked chiefly in Rome, Florence and Padua. His style is characterized by dazzling colors, spatial clarity of his compositions and a harmonious union between figure and landscape.
Uccello started a downward spiral towards the end of his life. He spend his days shuffling thought the streets dressed in rags, finally dying alone in a decrepit old stone cottage, his glorious fame long forgotten.
