Piero della Francesca
The Flagellation of Christ, tempera on wood panel by Piero della Francesca, late 1450s; in the National Gallery of the Marches, Urbino, Italy.
Piero della Francesca spent most of his life in his native town of Sansepolcro (also referred to as Borgo San Sepolcro). Throughout his career, he frequently returned to the provincial isolation of this town, alternating his time there with periods spent working in various artistic and intellectual centers, such as Urbino, Arezzo, Ferrara, and Rimini. He also spent the final two decades of his life residing in Sansepolcro.12
