Description

Piero Della Francesca's Resurrection painting is an Italian Renaissance masterpiece that has captivated viewers for centuries. This work of art was created in the 15th century and is located in the church of San Sepolcro in the city of Arezzo, Italy.

Piero Della Francesca's artistic style is characterized by geometric precision and attention to detail. In Resurrection, you can see the influence of classical art in the representation of human bodies and architecture. The composition is symmetrical and balanced, with the body of Christ in the center surrounded by angels and Roman soldiers.

Color in Resurrection is surprisingly subtle and austere, with a palette dominated by earth tones and grays. However, the details of the characters' clothing and jewelry are painted with great richness and detail.

The history of painting is fascinating. It is believed that it was commissioned by the Medici family for their private chapel in Florence, but it never reached its destination. Instead, it was sold to the church of San Sepolcro in Arezzo, where it has remained ever since.

Little known aspects of the painting include the presence of a small dog in the lower right corner, which is believed to represent loyalty and fidelity. It has also been speculated that the figure of the Roman soldier holding the spear is a self-portrait of Piero Della Francesca himself.

In short, Piero Della Francesca's Resurrection painting is an Italian Renaissance masterpiece that combines geometric precision and attention to detail with a balanced composition and subtle palette. Its little-known history and details only add to its fascination and mystery.
