How does Piero della Francesca's Battista Sforza and Federico Da Montefeltro integrate the traditions of the Northern and Italian Renaissance?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. The small panels resemble Flemish painting in their detail and luminosity, their record of surfaces and textures, and their vast landscapes.
2. In the traditional Italian fashion, the figures are posed in strict profile, disengaged psychologically from the viewer.
3. The profile format also allowed for an accurate recording of Frederico's likeness, the emphasis on his nose, which might be a distinctive family trait, and the underlying geometry of the forms.
4. Piero depicts the hills surrounding Urbino using atmospheric perspective, but the luminous nature of the landscape recalls Flemish panel painting.
