Piero della Francesca

Beautiful and vast in scale, Piero della Francesca's fresco cycle in the church of San Francesco in Arezzo is a masterpiece of colour, light and perspective - a panorama of battle scene and landscape filled with hundreds of intricately painted figures and lavish ornamentation. This work provides a close-up view of the frescoes, with colour photographs of the chapel's interior, including magnified details. It also provides a brief background history and a descriptive interpretation of the fresco cycle.
