	Biography
		Though Uccello must by then have been established as an independent painter, nothing of his work from this time remains, and there is no definite indication of his early training as a painter, except that he was a member of the workshop of Ghiberti, where many of the outstanding artists of the time were trained.
		Uccello is justly famous for his careful and sophisticated perspective studies, most clearly visible in The Flood, in the underdrawing (sinopia) for his last fresco, The Nativity, formerly in S. Martino della Scala in Florence, and in three drawings universally attributed to him that are now in the Uffizi.
		Uccello was long thought to be significant primarily for his role in establishing new means of rendering perspective that became a major component of the Renaissance style.

		Uccello was one of the most versatile founders of the Italian Early Renaissance, although his later reputation did not reflect his true significance, he went out of fashion during his lifetime and was only rediscovered in the XX century.
		Proof of Uccello’s obsession with perspective are his drawings in the Uffizzi of objects which he made look transparent in order to be able to show them in their stereometric complexity.

		Uccello was apprenticed to the sculptor, Lorenzo Ghiberti.

	Funerary Monument to Sir John Hawkwood by UCCELLO, Paolo
		The fresco is a splendid example of how Uccello used the new means of expression (perspective and sculptural quality) in a totally personal way; adding to them the monochrome effect of "terra verde", the painter has succeeded in creating the illusion of a statue, standing on a plinth.
		Uccello's analytic realism blends extremely well with his geometrization of forms, which contributes to the overall effect of abstractism conveyed by his works.
		In other words Paolo's compositions are more abstract and symbolic than natural: this painting is more a portrayal of the idea of a warrior than of a warrior in flesh and blood.

		Paolo di Bona, called Paolo Uccello because he liked painting birds (Uccelli), was born in Florence around 1399.

	Defining Illusionism - Uccello Chalice
		The Italian master, Paolo Uccello, epitomizes the rebirth of pictorial space that took place during the Renaissance through the use of perspective illusionism.
		Uccello and his fellows incorporated the math of perspective vanishing points to render the third dimension into their art works.
		When engaged in these matters, Paolo would remain alone in his house almost like a hermit, with hardly any intercourse, for weeks and months, not allowing himself to be seen.

	Choose Florence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A great narrator of "artists' stories", Giorgio Vasari, tells us that Paolo Uccello, "solitary, strange and melancholic" was a real fanatic of the rules of perspective, so much as to spend his nights "to find the terms of perspective".
		Paolo Uccello however was not only that: in his paintings the construction of space in perspective is so complicated and contorted as to transform his stories in surrealistic sceneries, in tales that seem to take place in another world.
		We find a temperament opposite to Paolo Uccello's in Filippo Lippi: so cerebral the former, so human and affectionate towards the subjects represented the latter.

	The Virginia Quarterly Review - THE PAINTER WHO ALMOST BECAME A CHEESE
		Although the artist never painted her portrait, he nevertheless distilled all of her forms in the crucible of his art, likened to that of an alchemist, in which he also gathered all the lineaments of plants and stones, of the rays of light, of the waves of the sea.
		Uccello also comes to mind when Picasso's friend Apollinaire writes in praise of Douanier Rousseau, a painter of animals, flowers, and children, of primitive dreams and jungles, the supposedly naive painter whom the poet likens to Uccello.
		Although the "real" Paolo Uccello, as we noted, is a shadowy figure, scarcely known to us from the small corpus of paintings and documents that have survived, all of which, by themselves, hardly constitute a "life," the painter looms larger than life in the imagination as a legendary figure.

		The works of the Florentine painter Paolo Uccello represent a combination of two distinct styles—the basically decorative late Gothic and the heroic early Renaissance.

		Painted representations of the mazzocchio are seen in many of Uccello's paintings.
		By virtue of its form, which can be clearly determined in these paintings, its representation presented a constructional problem of special complexity, with which later perspective theorists also concerned themselves.
		The elaborate system of projection can be reconstructed from incised lines on the original drawings, and shows the relevance of the methods and principals of the costruzione legittima.
