EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "View of an Ideal City, or The City of God" painted by Luciano Laurana in the late 15th century. Measuring 60x200 cm, this oil on panel masterpiece can be found at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino, Italy. The painting, previously attributed to Piero della Francesca but now believed to be by Laurana, is said to have been commissioned for the palace of Duke Federico da Montefeltro of Urbino. It portrays a utopian cityscape that embodies perfection and fantasy. In this idealized urban setting, classical architecture takes center stage. The composition features grand squares and piazzas adorned with Corinthian temples and round rotundas surrounded by colonnades and arcades. Loggias grace the streetscape while wells punctuate the landscape. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident through his use of linear perspective, creating a panoramic view that draws viewers into this theoretical world. Every element within the painting adheres to architectural theories prevalent during the Renaissance period. Laurana's "View of an Ideal City" invites us into a realm where imagination meets reality. It serves as a testament to human aspirations for perfection and harmony within our built environment. This artwork continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless beauty and visionary depiction of an idyllic cityscape.
