PIERO DI COSIMO (PIERO DI LORENZO DI PIERO D'ANTONIO). The Return From the Hunt

The Return from the Hunt. Artist: Piero di Cosimo (Piero di Lorenzo di Piero d'Antonio) (Italian, Florence 1462-1522 Florence). Dimensions: 27 3/4 x 66 1/2 in. (70.5 x 168.9 cm). Date: ca. 1494-1500.
Dating about 1507-8, these companion panels showing a hunt by men and satyrs and their return from the hunt are among the most singular works of the Renaissance. Their principal inspiration was the fifth book of the <i>De Rerum Natura</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 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. For more information about these two paintings, including the dispute about their function and patron, visit metmuseum.org.
