1. His art was first treated as an oddity with little merit; many scholars saw it as set apart from the mainstream of the Renaissance
2. 1439, Piero became an assistant of Domenico Veneziano working on low-cost frescoes in Florence
3.His time in Florence eventually helped him develop in technical resources, knowledge of perspective theory, use of form/light/color, and visual unity.
4.Some of his influences are said to have been: Masaccio, Castagno, and his earlier employer Domenico.
5.Beauty of the landscape shows naturalism depicted in earlier Florentine art; Tuscan landscape
6. Similar to Fra Angelico’s ‘Descent from the Cross’. (Christ depiction).The 3 angels show similarities to the naturalism/classicism of the singing boys on Luca della Robbia’s “Cantora”
7. No representation of God the Father (blue sky?) Son in tree? Holy Spirit in clouds?Might be said that Piero was a nature poet who saw revelations or relationships in simple things (nature)
8. Color is slightly bleached; helps model the smooth forms. Mastery of Domenico’s doctrine of light: single brushstroke to represent sparkle of light on an object.
