PIERO DI COSIMO (PIERO DI LORENZO DI PIERO D'ANTONIO). A Hunting Scene

A Hunting Scene. Artist: Piero di Cosimo (Piero di Lorenzo di Piero d'Antonio) (Italian, Florence 1462-1522 Florence). Dimensions: 27 3/4 x 66 3/4 in. (70.5 x 169.5 cm). Date: ca. 1494-1500.
This is one of the most singular works of the Renaissance. It's inspiration was the fifth book of <i>On the Nature of Things</i> by the Epicurean poet and philosopher Lucretius (ca. 99-55 B.C.). A manuscript of Lucretius's work was discovered in 1417 and published in Florence in 1471-73. Lucretius believed that the workings of the world and the evolution of humans can be accounted for by natural rather than divine causes, and he put forward a vision of the history of primitive man and the advent of civilization much discussed in Florentine intellectual circles.
