Florence, early 1500s, 5 Masters of the Florentine Renaissance (Louvre Museum, Paris)

This 210cm x 42cm Wooden panel, much repainted, was originally thought to be by Paolo Uccello (1397 - 1475 (78)), but now the consensus is that it was painted a bit later. The consensus is also that the faces do not all match the names inscribed underneath them by some helpful soul some time after the painting was done. The true identities are thought to be (left to right) Antonio Manetti - Brunelleschi's biographer and mathematician friend of Uccello (artist and perspective freak), Donatello, Paolo Uccello himself, Tommaso Masaccio, and Filippo Brunelleschi. So the name writer scored just 1 out of 5 and Giotto missed out - should have tried harder!

If ever a mobile piece of art was place specific (in this case Florence) it is this one, but you will have to go to the Louvre in Paris to see it. |

| Probably Filippo Brunelleschi (more portraits) 1377 - 1446 (69) | |
