Paolo Uccello was an Italian painter and mathematician celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to visual perspective in art. His dedication to mastering perspective led him to conduct intensive late-night studies. This focus on perspective enabled him to achieve a remarkable sense of depth in his artworks, particularly evident in his trilogy depicting the battle of San Romano. While working within the Late Gothic style, Uccello prioritized vivid color schemes and grandeur over strict adherence to classical realism. His unique artistic approach did not spawn a formal school of followers but left a lasting impact on twentieth-century art and literary criticism.
