<DIV>An innovative painter in the early generation of Renaissance artists, Piero dell Francesca was also an expert on religious topics and a mathematician who wanted to use perspective and geometry to make painting a &ldquo;true science.&rdquo;</div><DIV><BR>Although only sixteen of Piero&rsquo;s works survive, few art historians doubt his importance in the Renaissance. A 1992 conference of international experts meeting at the National Gallery of Art deemed Piero &ldquo;one of the most highly regarded painters of the early Renaissance, and one of the most respected artists of all time.&rdquo;&#160;</div><DIV><BR>In recent years, the quest for Piero has continued among intrepid scholars, and&#160;<i>Piero&rsquo;s Light&#160;</i>uncovers the life of this remarkable artistic revolutionary and enduring legacy of the Italian Renaissance.&#160;</div><DIV></div>
