Artists’ Corner- Happy 600^th Birthday Piero della Francesca

 

Zack James comment:

 

Normally my tastes in art run to the late Expressionists, Surrealists, Abstract Expressionists, works in that vein, more modern material that represents to my mind a more truthful representation of a fractured world we live in. But a painter like early Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca interests me because if you look at his work while he is as religiously oriented as any other 14^th century painter he does not play for that that wicked sense of adoration that the more traditional artists strove for to show their love of God, or something sublime like that. As the painting above demonstrates della Francesca has a more modern look, tells a story but without the glitter and halos. So thanks. And happy 600^th birthday brother.
