| Paolo Uccello Funerary monument for Sir John Hawkwood 1436 detached fresco mounted on canvas Duomo, Florence |
"Uccello's work is important not only because it applied strict geometry to the making of a painted surrogate for sculpture. It also explicitly revived a classical sculptural type associated with empire and domination, the equestrian monument best typified by the sculpture of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, then at the Lateran Palace in Rome and widely regarded as a portrait of Constantine, the first Christian emperor. The classical character of Uccello's fresco is underscored by the inscription in elegant humanist Latin, praising the commander for his military skill and for his great caution. The mural was just one of the influential adaptations of ancient forms to modern artistic and political ends to occur in the 1430s."
