Francesco di Giorgio
Italian, 1439–1501
Francesco di Giorgio was an Italian Early Renaissance artist. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at J. Paul Getty Museum. Francesco di Giorgio was born in Siena.
Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439–1501) was an Italian architect, engineer, painter, sculptor, and writer. As a painter, he belonged to the Sienese School. He was considered a visionary architectural theorist, in Nikolaus Pevsner's terms: "one of the most interesting later Quattrocento architects".
As a military engineer, he executed architectural designs and sculptural projects and built almost seventy fortifications for the Federico da Montefeltro, Count of Urbino, building city walls and early examples of star-shaped fortifications.
