As one of the most innovative and enlightened painters of the early
Italian Renaissance, Piero della Francesca knew how to capture the
moment. He brought space, luminosity and unparalleled subtlety to
painting, during an era that was aware it was forging epochal
change. Piero invented the role of the modern artist by becoming a
traveller, a courtier, a geometrician, a patron and much else, and
his pursuits were taken up by countless authors and artists from
Leonardo da Vinci to Giorgio Vasari. In this nuanced account of his
life and art, Machtelt Bruggen Israels reconstructs how Piero came
of age. Successfully demystifying the persistent notion of Piero's
art as enigmatic, she reveals the simple and stunning intentions
behind his work.
