It comes to the fore in Italian Renaissance painting, where a series of increasingly ambitious works were produced, many still religious, but several, especially in Florence, which did actually feature near-contemporary historical scenes such as the set of three huge canvases on The Battle of San Romano by Paolo Uccello, the abortive Battle of Cascina by Michelangelo and the Battle of Anghiari by Leonardo da Vinci, neither of which were completed.

The sources for Paolo Uccello ’ s life are few: Giorgio Vasari ’ s biography, written 75 years after Paolo ’ s death, and a few contemporary official documents.

Not all these scenes are unanimously attributed to Paolo Uccello. A scene in Paolo Uccello's Corpus Domini predella ( c. 1465-1468 ), set in a Jewish pawnbroker's home.
