Luca Signorelli (1445-1523)

.










In researching for the next post I came across this crazy detail in Luca Signorelli's fresco in the Chapel of San Brizio, 
Duomo, Orvieto.

Luca Signorelli (c. 1445 – 16 October 1523) was an Italian Renaissance painter who was noted in particular for his ability 
as a draughtsman and his use of foreshortening. His massive frescoes of the Last Judgment (1499–1503) in Orvieto 
Cathedral are considered his masterpiece.
