The Battle

The subject of this still life is a paper automata depicting Uccello’s painting the Battle of San Romano in the National Gallery London. An old photo of the artist and his brother play fighting is placed to balance the picture but also contributes to the silly theatre of the staged battle. The Manikin adds to the theme of puppetry in some sense. Trompe l’ oeil is also another more subtle theme that runs thought the painting with the illusion of different surface layers.
