Piero della Francesca

Piero della Francesca was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, renowned for his use of geometry, perspective, and light to create harmonious compositions. Active in the 15th century, he combined mathematical precision with emotional depth in his work. His most famous pieces include "The Baptism of Christ" and "The Resurrection." Piero's art influenced later generations, particularly in the way he portrayed human figures with a sense of volume and realism. Besides painting, he was also interested in mathematics and perspective, which significantly shaped visual arts and contributed to the broader intellectual movement of the Renaissance.
