Painting Description
The diptych of "Portraits of Federico da Montefeltro and His Wife Battista Sforza" is a renowned work by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, painted circa 1465-66. These two profile portraits, which are oil paintings on wood panels, depict Federico da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino, and his wife Battista Sforza. The diptych is celebrated for its exquisite detail, use of perspective, and the serene dignity it imparts to its subjects.
Federico da Montefeltro, a famous condottiero and patron of the arts, is portrayed in his iconic profile, which conceals his missing right eye and broken nose—wounds from his military campaigns. His wife, Battista Sforza, comes from the powerful Milanese Sforza family and is depicted with a similarly idealized profile. The reverse sides of the panels show a triumphal procession with allegorical figures, celebrating the virtues of the duke and duchess.
Piero della Francesca's work is characterized by its geometric composition and the use of light and color to create volume, which was revolutionary at the time. The portraits are also notable for their detailed landscapes, which provide a backdrop to the sitters and reflect the influence of Flemish art on della Francesca. The diptych is a prime example of the humanist interests of the Renaissance, combining individual portraiture with classical themes and symbolism.
Today, the diptych is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, and remains a significant example of Renaissance portraiture, showcasing Piero della Francesca's mastery in capturing the human form and his contribution to the development of portrait painting. The "Portraits of Federico da Montefeltro and His Wife Battista Sforza" continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance, representing the apex of quattrocento art and the cultural aspirations of the Italian Renaissance.
