Paolo Uccello's the Hunt in the Forest by Catherine Whistler
'The Hunt in the Forest' is the foundation of the Ashmolean's distinguished collection of old master paintings, and a magical and enigmatic picture. The artist, Paolo Uccello, had a lifelong interest in geometry and perspective, and together with his skill in depicting animals and landscape this helped to form this jewel-like swansong from the last decade of his career. This book, written by Dr Catherine Whistler, examines Uccello's life and work, the process of making 'The Hunt in the Forest', the subject of the painting, its original setting, and its use of perspective and rhythm.
Dr Catherine Whistler is a curator in the Department of Western Art, Ashmolean Museum. She is responsible for the collections of Italian and Spanish paintings and drawings and the textile collection, and her curatorial duties include work on exhibitions, gallery displays and the planning of paintings conservation. Apart from the Ashmolean's collections, her research interests lie in 18th century Italy and Spain.
