Franesca

Diptych

Federico da Montefeltro and his wife Battista Sforza.

side portraits because Duke lost his eye

The diptych is also painted on the back. Federico da Montefeltro and his wife are shown on two antique wagons in the company of the Virtues. The Duke wears his armor just like a leader, while he is crowned by the Victory; the Duchess sits in a chariot pulled by two unicorns, symbols of chastity, to emphasize her pious and gentle soul.

Thanks to his aristocratic and hieratic art, Piero della Francesca achieves the noble goal to make the memory of the two Dukes eternal.
