    Sandwich of light or references to namesake paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca

    Landscape painting is more than just a framed gaze. What comes to mind automatically is the earliest known work by Piero della Francesca*, the one where he has his Madonna sit in the window and creates a spatial illusion by letting her garment drape over the window sill - show in such a way that the window aperture simultaneously looks like a very modest picture frame. Behind her, there is a desert savannah with a blue strip of sky on the horizon. The heated sand reflects light from the same source that allows Madonna's face
    not to be in the shadows. It is like a sandwich of light with a piece of corporeity in the middle. Divine bait for eyes in the word of optometry not intended for working in total darkness.
    *Piero della Francesca (1415 - 1492), Italian early Renaissance painter.
