The Forest Fire

The Forest Fire (c. 1505) is a painting by Italian Renaissance painter Piero di Cosimo. The painting depicts a variety of frightened animals attempting to escape a forest fire. The painting has a lot of activity, at the center of which is the raging fire itself.[2] One of the earliest landscape paintings of the Renaissance, it combines real animals as well as made up animals. It was inspired by Book 5 of Lucretius's On the Nature of Things.[3]
