Private Life of a Masterpiece: Paolo Uccello was an Italian painter and a mathematician who was notable for his pioneering work on visual perspective in art. His best known works are the three paintings representing the battle of San Romano. The Battle of San Romano is a set of three paintings by the Florentine painter Paolo Uccello depicting events that took place at the Battle of San Romano between Florentine and Sienese forces in 1432. They are significant as revealing the development of linear perspective in early Italian Renaissance painting, and are unusual as a major secular commission.
