	Biography
		Uccello may have been induced to return to Florence by the commission for a series of frescoes in the cloister of San Miniato al Monte depicting scenes from monastic legends.
		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.

		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.

	Florence Art Guide - Paolo di Dono known as Paolo Uccello
		He was almost immediately nicknamed "Uccello" (Bird) or "degli Uccelli" (of the Birds) and this was probably because he especially loved painting ornamental friezes with birds and other animals.
		Unfortunately Paolo Uccello, who became a member of the Company of Painters of St. Luke in 1424, had already left Florence by 1425, because he had been invited to Venice to carry out some mosaics (today lost) in St. Mark's.
		The most important moment in Paolo Uccello's artistic career took place shortly afterwards, between 1456 and 1460, when he carried out the three paintings that celebrate the Battle of San Romano of 1432, where the Florentines, led by Niccolò da Tolentino, attacked and defeated the Sienese allies of the Visconti family from Milan.

		Painted representations of the mazzocchio are seen in many of Uccello's paintings.

		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.
