Paolo Uccello's The Battle of San Romanois a remarkable painting that showcases the artist's mastery of linear perspective and his unique style. This iconic work, dated 1456, is housed in the prestigious Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The Battle of San Romano is a set of three paintings by Paolo Uccello that depict events from the Battle of San Romano between Florentine and Sienese forces in 1432. The central panel, which features Niccolò da Tolentino leading the Florentine cavalry charge, is particularly striking. Linear Perspective: Uccello's innovative use of linear perspective creates a sense of depth and realism that was groundbreaking for his time. This technique involves using parallel lines to create an illusion of space, drawing the viewer into the scene. The Battle of San Romano is significant as it reveals the development of linear perspective in early Italian Renaissance painting and is unusual as a major secular commission. The paintings are in egg tempera on wooden panels, each over 3 metres long.
