Paolo ucellos "hunt in the forest": Ashmolean Museum


This painting is famous because of perspective and nature.
It was painted in 1470.
It has a nocturnal landscape.
Humans and animals recede coherently to a vanishing to a vanishing point in the centre of the painting.
Bright colours create a mosaic-like surface patterns.
In this painting, hunting is a metaphor for love, the pursuit of beloved and death.
There are also symbols representing Diana (godess of hunt) represented as deer.
(adrian and pablo)
