Francesco di Giorgio belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Francesco di Giorgio as Italian Renaissance architect, sculptor and painter (1439-1502).
Francesco di Giorgio was born at Siena in 1439. His recorded nationality is Italy.
This was the period in which observation began to outrank inherited authority, and printing let work reach readers who would never meet its author.
The record gives his occupations as painter, architect and sculptor.
Among his principal works are Adoration of the Child, Trattati di architettura ingegneria e arte militare and Stonework from the Rocca Roveresca of Mondolfo. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
That the work was done from Italy matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Francesco di Giorgio died in 1501 at the age of 62. The work outlived the arguments around it.
