Paolo Uccello

by Franco Borsi

Paolo Uccello's works have long fascinated the public; yet academic opinion has been uncomfortable with his status as a Renaissance artist. His often fantastical compositions, his experiments with perspective, his sympathy with the Gothic, his strange and secretive character, all excluded him from the austere, realist, heroic tradition exemplified by Brunelleschi, Masaccio and Alberta.
