Abstract (en)

Reconsiders the original physical function, material, underpainting, construction of composition, subject matter, and purport of three spalliere depicting utopian visions of an urban setting, represented in the idiom of 15th c. humanistic architecture : Ideal City (Urbino, Galleria nazionale delle Marche), Ideal City with a Fountain and Statues of the Virtues (Baltimore, Walters Art Gallery), and Architectural Perspective (Berlin, Staatliche Museen Preussischer Kulturbesitz). The Urbino panel was designed and painted for Palazzo Ducale, Urbino, and given the closeness in subject matter and their uniqueness in 15th c. painting in Italy, suggests the other two panels were also executed in Urbino in the 1470s. Suggests the most likely patron was Federico da Montefeltro, and that their purport was hortatory. Briefly looks at their relation with Renaissance stage design.
