The Hunt in the Forest (by Paolo Uccello) Ceramic Tile

This design features a painting by the Italian artist Paolo Uccello (1397–1475), who was born Paolo di Dono. The painting is an early example of the effective use of perspective in Renaissance art: it is possible to see the hunt participants, including people, horses, dogs and deer, disappearing into the dark forest that lies behind them in the distance. The original painting was produced sometime around the year 1470. It was Uccello's last known painting before his death in 1475, and it is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England.
