Paolo Uccello (1397 – December 10, 1475), born Paolo di Dono, was an Italian mathematician and painter who became famous for his pioneering in artistic visual perspective. Giorgio Vasari in his book, Lives of the Artists, mentioned that Uccello absorbed in drawing perspective that he would stay up all night to make an exact vanishing point. He utilized perspective achieve a sensation of depth in his paintings rather than to narrate stories, as his peers do. Uccello's works are characterized by Late Gothic traditions, emphasizing pageantry and color rather than the nuances that is emphasized in Classical realism. His style is classically seen as idiosyncratic. He was without a school of followers. Learn more »
