Piero della Francesca always painted the same woman as a Madonna...This picture of Madonna here is his "Madonna del Parto"...And no. She wasn't a mother for him...she was his eternal love...this is what real female soul is made for. Love.
The scene is taken in the crypta of "Basilica di San Pietro", in the small village of Tuscania, one hour and a half by car from Rome, going north. In the geographical and historical area of ancient Etruria.
