Paolo Uccello (1397-1475 CE), real name Paolo di Dono, was an Italian painter who is considered one of the founding fathers of Florentine Renaissance art. Uccello was one of the earliest artists to attempt certain tricks of perspective in his paintings. His most famous works include the paintings Saint George and the Dragon and The Hunt, as well as various frescoes such as the Deluge in Florence's Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. The artist's final commission, the series of panels known as the Miracle of the Desecrated Host, contains more fine examples of his work using perspective.
