	Untitled Document
		The patent letter of 1468 confirming Laurana's appointment as artistic director of the palace states that the skill of an architect is held in exceptional esteem, because it is grounded in the noble liberal arts of arithmetic and geometry.
		Laurana was given the funds and authority to direct and orchestrate every aspect of construction and decoration, from the stonecutters, sculptors, and intarsia workers to the palace's administrative agents.
		Laurana's and Francesco di Giorgio's contributions include a central facade, with graceful towers framing a three-storey loggia, a broad staircase leading up to the piano noble, or main floor, and a spacious inner courtyard with a wide colonnade of remarkably pure proportions.

	Francesco Laurana - Best of Sicily Magazine
		His portraiture in soft marble is a sculpture that captures the spirit of the French and Spanish kings and queens who ruled over the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily in the waning decades of the Middle Ages, and the first years of the budding movement that came to be known as the Renaissance.
		Little was generally known of Laurana until the nineteenth century, when art historians in several countries attempted to consolidate their knowledge of his life and work.
		Francesco Laurana is strongly identified with Sicily, and was a contemporary of Antonello da Messina, also an innovator, whose style, with Laurana's, may be said to constitute a minor artistic movement.

	Palazzo Ducale, Urbino Information
		Luciano Laurana, an architect from Dalmatia who had been influenced by Brunelleschi's cloisters in Florence, designed the façade, the famous courtyard and the great entrance staircase.
		After Laurana's departure from Urbino in 1472, works were continued by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, who was mainly responsible for the façade decoration.
		Laurana's light and noble arcaded courtyard at Urbino rivals that of the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome as the finest of the Renaissance.

		The art historian Walter Hanak has added support to the " Laurana theory" by drawing attention to the inscriptions in the upper left and right of the panel, which appear to be written in the Slavic language in Cyrillic character.
		Luciano Laurana, who was born in Dalmatia, is the only candidate likely to have known Cyrillic.
		Laurana was occupied during the period when this was painted on the construction of the Ducal Palace in Urbino, and various similarities have been identified between the proportions and space of the noble palaces around the piazza and some of the buildings to be found in Urbino.

	Luciano Laurana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was a relative of the sculptor Francesco Laurana.
		Laurana was born in Vrana, near Zadar (modern Croatia, the part of the Republic of Venice).
		The exact attribution of the works is still disputed, as it is known that also Francesco di Giorgio has a role in the construction: the innovative façade, however, is traditionally recognized as Laurana's.

	Italica - Rinascimento - Parole chiave
		Laurana resided in Urbino for six years, and was first credited with the design of the Palazzo Ducale over a century after its construction, by Baldi in 1590.
		His precise role in the palace design remains somewhat obscure, though the courtyard with its bold combination of classicizing elements and its Latinate inscription, the grand vestibule and dog-leg staircase, and the new apartment of the Duke are usually attributed to him.
		His interest in stately urban spaces may be reflected in three panel paintings of similar settings which are often attributed to him (located in Urbino, Baltimore, and Berlin); the dating of these works has often been disputed.

	Italian Renaissance
		The Palazzo Ducale of Urbino was built by Federigo da Montrefeltro, a humanist-general who ruled his own tiny mountain town.
		This distinctive palace was designed by Luciano Laurana (1420/5-79), one of several great artists including Bramante and Raphael whom the Duke brought into his court, transforming little Urbino into the cultural capital of central Italy.
		Unlike the rectangular block shape of Roman palaces, Laurana's design is a sprawling palatial villa.

	Donato Bramante Summary
		During that period, however, the court of Federigo da Montefeltro at Urbino was a flourishing humanistic and cultural center, attended by artists such as Piero della Francesca, Melozzo da Forll, and Luciano Laurana, who probably influenced the young Bramante.
		Bramante was born in Monte Adrualdo, near Urbino: here, in the 1460s, Luciano Laurana was adding to the Palazzo Ducale an arcaded courtyard and other features that seemed to have the true ring of a reborn antiquity to Federico da Montefeltro's ducal palace.
		Bramante's architecture has peclipsed his painting skills: he knew the painters Melozzo da Forlì and Piero della Francesca well, who were interested in the rules of perspective and illusionistic features in Mantegna's painting.

		In a sixties letter to his friend Ben Nicholson, Stokes - enthused by Nicholsons drawings of Laurana's cortile - wrote that Nicholson's drawings conveyed well "everything that the original gave me, the greatest architectural kick I have ever had.
		In The Quattro Cento (1932) and Stones of Rimini (1934) - the founding books of his theory of art - Stokes challenges the accepted Florentine hegemony to assert the values of the non-Florentine Renaissance centres of Venice, Rimini, Urbino and Siena.

		He found this kind of art in small towns and in ordinary houses as well as in the great villes d'art: indeed least of all in Florence, by which he was 'most bitterly disappointed'.
		He found it in the work of Agostino di Duccio, Alberti, Piero della Francesca, Francesco di Giorgio, Luciano Laurana, and, on and off, Donatello and Verrocchio.
		He found it supremely in three extraordinary expressions of Renaissance culture: the Tempio Malatestiano at Rimini, the Ducal Palace of Urbino, and the city of Venice, 'city of stone and water', perceived and apprehended as a unitary work of art.
