Famous masterpiece by Paolo Uccello. I saw this at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
Uccello was one of the early pioneers of linear perspective in art, and he used this painting to show off. All lines converge at a single vanishing point deep in the pitch-black center of the forest.
The posture is hysterical, did he spot a spider in the trees above him?
Linear geometry over human anatomy.
At the Ashmolean.
Sheesh, and what about that horse?
