- This article is an introduction to the accompanying translation of selected fragments of Piero della Francesca’s (1412?-1492) treatise De Prospectiva Pingendi (mid-1470s). Although Piero was rediscovered as a mathematician in the nineteenth century (his dissertation on perspective was first published in 1899), it was only in the second half of the twentieth century that his theories were systematically examined. As a result, Piero is now regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, who contributed to the development of studies on ancient geometry. From the point of view of art history, his most important treatise is De Prospectiva Pingendi, but this is only one part of Piero’s theoretical achievements, which also include Trattato d’Abaco (mid-1460s) and Libellus de Quinque Corporibus Regularibus (first half of the 1480s). All three works grew out of the same tradition of applied mathematics taught in schools for merchants and craftsmen (scuole d’abaco). At the same time, however, Piero was innovative in the way he greatly emphasised geometry. De Prospectiva Pingendi is a dissertation, which on the one hand shows painting as a craft, but on the other, offers a theory based on geometry, which according to Piero, was essential to painters. For this reason, the treatise is a unique example of a meeting point between art and science, craft and theory. Although not published during the Renaissance, it was well known as evidenced by the fact that later dissertations on perspective (eg. by A. Dürer) adopt definitions and issues introduced by Piero. Furthermore, some of his processes herald solutions that came to be known from more advanced and later-developed geometry (G. del Monte, G. Monge).
