	PIERO DE FRANCESCHI - LoveToKnow Article on PIERO DE FRANCESCHI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This master is generally named Piero della Francesca (Peter, son of Frances), the tradition being that his father, a woollen-draper named Benedetto, had died before his birth.
		He says that Piero became blind at the age of sixty, which cannot be true, as he continued painting some years lafer; but scepticism need perhaps hardly go to the extent of inferring that he was never blind,at all.
		Pieros earlier style was energetic but unrefined, and to the last he lacked selectness of form and feature.

		Piero della Francesca (c1416-1492) was an Italian artist whose work was characterized by his interest in mathematics, particularly how it related to perspective and foreshortening.
		He wrote a treatise De prospectiva pingendi on how the rules of mathematical foreshortening could be applied to any object, be it a cube or human head.

		Piero first appears as an independent master in 1445, when he painted a still surviving altar-piece of many panels for the Brotherhood of the Misericordia in his native town.
		In the spring of 1469 Piero was at Urbino, lodging in the house of Giovanni Santi, the father of Raphael, in which city a large part of his later activity occurred.
		Piero's position in the development of Italian art is a unique and important one.

		Piero was born in Borgo San Sepolcro (now Sansepolcro) in Umbria, and he retained a lifelong affinity with his home, despite frequent travels elsewhere to accept commissions.
		Piero's principal patron was Federico da Montefeltro, for whom he worked in Urbino.
		Piero stopped painting in the 1470s and turned his attention to writing treatises on mathematics and perspective.

		Piero had 2 brothers and 1 sister, he never married but is thought by some to have had a mistress who died in giving birth to a child.
		Interesting points of the contract were: Piero himself was to execute the work; he was to restore any deterioration that happened over a 10 year period (oil paint had not yet been tested for longevity) and he was to complete the work within three years.
		Piero only signed and dated work that he did outside Sansepolcro so a chronological table of his painting is only exact for such art.

		Piero's art here comes nearer than any contemporary work to the quality of ancient Greek classical style, yet without any specific reference to antique art in figures or accessories.
		Of undocumented major works by Piero the outstanding are the Baptism and the Nativity (London), the Flagellation (Urbino, gallery), the Madonna del Parto (Monterchi, cemetery chapel), and the Resurrection (Borgo, Palazzo Communale).

	Piero della Francesca
		En 1460 de nuevo está en Borgo de San Sepolcro, regresando siempre que puede a su ciudad natal donde se encuentra en su verdadero ambiente.
		Piero aportará un nuevo lenguaje presidido por la arquitectura, como vemos en la Pala Brera, la Virgen de Senigallia o la Flagelación de Cristo, las tres obras más importantes del maestro en su madurez.
		Ese carácter público de la pintura permite atribuir cierta simbología a la obra, planteándose como una alusión a la leyenda que considera a los fundadores de Sansepolcro como peregrinos procedentes de los Santos Lugares que portaban una reliquia del Santo Sepulcro, decidiendo el lugar de la fundación gracias a una aparición de Jesucristo.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Piero Da San Sepolcro
		He was the son of a notary, Ser Benedetto, a member of an influential family long identified with the government of the town—the Franceschi.
		From this period probably dates the remarkable diptych of the Uffizi, containing the portraits of the Duke (then Count) of Urbino, the ideal prince of the Renaissance, and the mild and refined image of his wife, Battista Sforza, with allegorical triumphs of these rulers on the reverse sides.
		Of the biographies of Piero that by PICHI (Borgo San-Sepolcro, 1893) is rather a panegyric; that of WITTING (Strasburg, 1898) is the most scholarly; another is by WATERS (London, 1901); RICCI, Piero della Francesca (Rome, 1910), is best for illustrations.

		A noted fresco in Borgo San Sepolcro, the " Resurrection," may be later than this series; it is preserved in the Palazzo de' Conservatori.

		Así lo muestra la pintura rupestre neolítica que data de hace unos 5.000 años y en la cual sin lugar a dudas un extraño ser aparece rodeado de los típicos platos volantes que se describen hoy en día.
		A principios del siglo XIV, Giotto di Bondone (1266 a 1337) florentino de nacimiento, dibujó en su Adoración de los Reyes Magos una peculiar estrella con forma de bola de luz que dejaba una brillante estela a su paso.
		Así Piero del Franceschi, más conocido como de la Francesca (1420 a 1492) con gran técnica y maestría adornaba sus pinturas con unas enigmáticas nubes que más bien parecían ocultar tras la neblina perfectas formas discoidales, como si por miedo a las represalias, ocultara en ellas los ovnis que otros no tenían miedo en reflejar.

		Pietro painted a little at Arezzo; thence he went to the headquarters of art, Florence, and frequented the famous Brancacci Chapel in the church of the Carmine.
		It appears to be sufficiently established that he studied in the atelier of Andrea del Verrocchio, where Leonardo de Vinci was also a pupil.
		He may have learned perspective, in which he particularly excelled for that period of art, from Piero de Franceschi.

		Alla fine degli anni Venti, Longhi svolge un duplice ruolo, molto importante nelle vicende romane: da una parte abbiamo le sue aperture verso l’’antico’; a questo proposito ricorda Ziveri (1972): "Con il Piero della Francesca Longhi dava a una parte dei suoi contemporanei l'apertura verso un umanesimo nuovo, contenuto in figurazioni di trascendenza metafisica".

	Biografia de Piero della Francesca o Dei Franceschi
		Discípulo de Massaccio y de Domenico Veneziano; trabajó inicialmente en Florencia y después en Borgo (políptico de la Misericordia, 1445), en Ferrara y en Rímini (donde ejecutó, en 1541, el fresco del templo malatestiano que representa a Segismondo Pandolfo Malatesta a los pies de su santo patrón).
		La obra pictórica de Piero della Francesca ejerció gran influencia entre los artistas de su época.
		XX, los pintores cubistas y los seguidores del arte abstracto redescubrieron la obra de este artista, cuyas leyes sobre la perspectiva y la proporción le llevan a ser considerado como una de las personalidades cumbres del arte de todos los tiempos.

		To set against the joie de vivre of worldly circles, he brought the joy of the spirit, the "perfect blitheness" afforded by the shaking off of every trammel of the senses.
		To those who saw the studies of Pollajuolo, the experiments of Castagno and Domenico Veneziano, of Piero de' Franceschi, and Paolo Uccello, the intellectual aspect of art for a time must have seemed the logical outcome of the scientific culture in which their whole world was steeped.
		With Lorenzo de' Medici as the leader of thought, the fortress of the intellect seems at its most impregnable, yet in its very stronghold we are aware of a soul unsatisfied.
