About the Book

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II BIOGRAPHICAL. RIMINI AND THE VATICAN HIERO DI BENEDETTO DEI FRAXCESCHI, A to give him his full name, was born at Borgo San Sepolcro, a city lying in the valley of the Upper Tiber, nestling at the foot of the Apennines and situated about midway between Arezzo and Urbino. It has been fruitful of painters, and claims amongst its citizens such men as Raffaelle del Colle, Santi di Tito, Matteo di Giovanni, and Cristofero Gherardi. The exact date of Piero's birth cannot be fixed. He died in 1492, and if, as Vasari states, he lived eighty-six years, he must have been born in 1406. His name is sometimes written as Pietro del Borgo; and, until recent years, he has been known in the world of Art as Piero della Francesca, a style which has been the cause of no little confusion in defining his family status. According to Vasari's account he was so named after his mother, a certain Francesca, who was pregnant with him at the time of her husband's death; her name having been given to him for the reason that she had brought him up, and assisted him to rise to the level which good fortune had allotted to him. Rosini1 repeats Vasari's error, and F. A. Grayer, writing as late as 1869, furnishes some additional details to the effect that Piero was the natural child of a poor woman who had been basely abandoned by her seducer, but he gives no authority for this statement. M. Gruyer, however, is copying or even amplifying Vasari's account without inquiry, a practice he again adopts in endorsing Vasari's mistakes about Piero being summoned to Urbino by Guidobaldo Feltre, and about his working with Bramantino di Milano in the Vatican. 1 Storia della Pittura Italiana.
