Portraits Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza 1465

Piero della Francesca's *Portraits of Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza* (1465), is a double portrait of the Italian Duke of Urbino and his wife. Both figures are depicted in profile, with the Duke on the right wearing a red cap and robe, and the Duchess on the left adorned with a pearl necklace and elaborate headdress. The backgrounds depict idealized landscapes, likely intended to evoke the couple's power and prestige. The realism and precision of the details in both faces and landscapes are hallmarks of Piero della Francesca's style, demonstrating his mastery of perspective and light. This iconic work is a testament to the artistry of the Italian Renaissance, now displayed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
