Madonna and Child

Piero della Francesca, renowned as an Italian painter, mathematician and geometer, widely contributed to the Early Renaissance. His art prominently exhibits serene humanism, integrating the use of geometric forms and perspective. Among his many notable works is the religious painting titled 'Madonna and Child'. This piece showcases his ability to blend religious themes and humanistic expression, a defining characteristic of religious painting during the Early Renaissance era. This artistic approach is further evidenced in his acclaimed cycle of frescoes, 'The History of the True Cross' housed in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo.
