Paolo Uccello was born as Paolo di Dono and was given the name Uccello as a nickname meaning “the bird” because of his love for drawing birds and animals on frieze. ... He came from a poor family but money never matters to Uccello, his art did. ...
In circa 1430, Uccello’s first great achievement was the “Equestrian Portrait of John Hawkwood. ... Uccello cared more for the geometrical shapes in this painting rather than the natural shapes and effects. ... About twenty years later Cosimo de Medici commissioned Uccello to paint the three paintings of the “Battle of San Romano”. ... Uccello purposely did so to make the figures look as if they were carved rather than painted. ...
Before passing on, Uccello created many other masterpieces such as “The Deluge”, “The Hunt in the Forest”, “The Fathers of Perspective” and many more. “The Fathers of Perspective” show portraits of Giotto, Uccello, Donatello, Manetti, and Brunelleschi. In 1469, Uccello returned to Florence “more poor than famous” and six years later he passed away leaving the world with beautiful frescos and paintings and as one of the fathers of perspective drawing.
