"Federigo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino" is a celebrated Renaissance portrait by the Italian artist Piero della Francesca, depicting Federigo da Montefeltro, who was the Duke of Urbino from 1444 to 1482. Painted circa 1465, this artwork is renowned for its use of perspective and detail, which exemplify the artistic achievements of the early Italian Renaissance. The portrait is a half-length depiction of the Duke in profile, a common representation for Italian portraiture at the time, which was influenced by the profile portraits on ancient Roman coins.

The Duke is portrayed wearing a red chaperon, a fashionable headgear of the period, and his armor, indicating his status as a successful condottiero, or military leader. The background of the painting is a stark, deep blue, which not only serves to highlight the figure but also reflects the lapis lazuli pigment that was highly prized during the Renaissance. The use of this expensive pigment underscores the wealth and power of the Duke.

Piero della Francesca's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of textures, from the softness of the Duke's skin to the intricate brocade of his attire and the gleaming metal of his armor. The portrait is also noted for its serene and dignified representation of the Duke, which was in keeping with the humanist ideals of the time, emphasizing rationality and nobility.

The painting is part of a diptych, originally paired with a portrait of the Duke's wife, Battista Sforza, which is similarly rendered in profile. Both portraits are believed to have been created posthumously for Battista, who died in 1472, and possibly after Federigo's own death in 1482. The reverse sides of the panels feature allegorical triumphs, celebrating the virtues and accomplishments of the couple.

"Federigo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino" is held in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it remains one of the most admired works by Piero della Francesca. The portrait is not only a testament to the artist's skill but also provides valuable insight into the cultural and political landscape of 15th-century Italy.
