This critique of di Cosimo's piece, "The Forest Fire", examines its making and explores its mysterious subject matter. The painting is a closely observed depiction of a raging fire and the ensuing panic amongst birds and animals. Recent research has, however, suggested a new interpretation.
Piero Di Cosimo (1461/62--1522) was characterised in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists (1550) as an eccentric, who lived on a diet of hard-boiled eggs, and hated the sound of children crying, men coughing, and friars chanting. Yet Piero was a successful artist in Florence, celebrated for his imaginative and often unorthodox treatment of classical themes, and for his fascination with nature. The Forest Fire in the Ashmolean Museum is one of his most beautiful and enigmatic pictures.
