Paolo Uccello
Even though, at first glance each battle scene looks quite chaotic, the paintings are very carefully organised. This is particularly noticeable in the way Uccello has arranged the lances that are held upright by the troops and the many weapons that are lying on the ground. They all serve the purpose of leading the viewers eye into the painting. They create perspective. And while the battle is raging in the foreground, in the background are mountains, fields, hedges and woods. In them are farmers, hunters and animals. The difference in size between the figures in the foreground and the figures in the background create distance in the picture.
