Piero della Francesca was a figure of special interest for both John Charles Robinson, an agent for South Kensington as well as for private collectors, and Charles Eastlake, the first director of the National Gallery, because of the extreme rarity of his portable pictures.
Robinson and Eastlake knew of the high praise Vasari had accorded to Piero, and on their predatory travels in Italy they were keenly alert to the possibility of discovering and acquiring examples of his work.
Unlike Eastlake, Layard was not at this point a collector of paintings, and his visits to Italy had not been devoted to hunting for rare panels but to climbing scaffolding and patiently making tracings of old frescos that he hoped to publish as outline engravings.

[6] Eastlake was a British pioneer of new conceptions of art history a nd of the physiology of aesthetic reception, conceptions that shaped his curatorial goals and ambitions.
It will become clear that several aspects of the consumption of art in museums that are usually thought to have been introduced in the twentieth century were, in fact, issues that were debated in the early years of the museum's existence.

First published in 1868, it went through many editions and republications, and served as a basic source for philosophy of design for hundreds of architects, manufacturers, and decorators, as well as for perhaps hundreds of thousands of homeowners.
Eastlake was primarily interested in good design, particularly appropriateness and sanity in decoration, and a mutual respect between function and beauty.
It is one of the ironies of history that his work, in addition to “weeding out the overgrown Victorian parlor-garden,” created the so-called “Eastlake style,” which the author himself would probably have disavowed.
