Biography:
Born as Paolo di Dono, Uccello was given his nickname because his love of painting birds. He was apprenticed to Ghiberti at the age of ten, and accompanied his mentor while he worked on the doors of the Florentine Baptistry. In his late twenties, Uccello began receiving many commissions, including the first equestrian painting of the Renaissance, a portrait of Sir John Hawkswood for the Florence Cathedral. Uccello is known for his mastery of perspective and foreshortening.
